I've never had this happen before, but if someone asked, I would tell them to retract it themselves.

Within the last 12 hours of an auction, the bidder or seller can do either but within 12 hours, the auction is basically "locked" until the end.
I just had a high bidder ask me to cancel their bid on a $10 item with an hour to go and told them it was impossible. In goodwill I cancelled the auction after it was over BUT for me to get my fees back, that bidder then had to agree. It took her 3 days to agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was unbelievable that she was online with an hour to go but could not reciprocate the courtesy by agreeing to cancel the auction for 3 days AFTER it ended!!??!!
That was very frustrating.
