How can I cancel a winning bid on Ebay?

I bought a computer which at the time I thought I had more money for. So I was hoping to cancel my order.

The seller (btecomputer) is telling me that the sale is irreversible, but what if I don't send them the money? what would happen?

Please be aware that I dont give a shit if they suspend my account or whatever

 

I would say deregister yourself as a a user.

 

Search for "cancel bid" in ebay's help search. You'll find a link there, but you can only cancel the bid if there is MORE than 12 hours left in the auction.

Otherwise you're screwed.

 

What can they do? Thats what I'm wondering...

 

Just don't pay. All that will probably happen is you get a negative feedback.

 

There is a bid retraction check it out:

Yeah, I once had a winning bid on a guitar recorder but i found one cheaper at the local store. You can cancel at any time for the reason that you "made a mistake", in other words, you didn't intend to bid on that exact item, or you entered a higher amount than intended. They can't do anything, but if you do it too often Ebay will investigate you and cancel your bidding rights.
