How do I retract a bid on Ebay?

[kailes2872]

I ran out of items on my watch list yesterday. I made a couple of min bids - just so I could monitor the auction. I checked myebay tonight and somehow, it has an extra 0 on my bid - which would be 3x VCP if it is bid up to that amount. It is well on its way from a few low feedback bidders with high % for that seller.

It was my mistake and I am willing to take the medicine if it is seen as unethical. It doesn't end for another 5 days and 22 hours, so I feel that it if I pull back now while it is still under VCP, I am not doing the seller harm - however, I don't want to send a note to him asking for a bid retraction explaining that I accidently hit an extra 0 - thus showing what my max is and opening myself to that number being magically hit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
