You can ask the seller to cancel, but they do not have to and may open a "non-paying buyer" dispute against you. If you don't pay then a strike will be put against your account.

So long as you don't get another in a 12 month period it won't affect you, but if you do get another you will find yourself barred from bidding or buying from any seller that has their "buyer blocks" in place.

You should also realise the the seller is charged final value fees as soon as you won the auction.

Have you won the item or is the auction still live ?

"Waves" back to you Kopes, hope all's well with you mate.

Good point on whether the auction is still live, if it is then the OP could retract their bid.
