Last night I received through "Ask Seller a Question" a note stating that my current bidder on a current auction needs to retract her bid because "it's the wrong color." At this point, her bid is still in. Am I wrong, or is it the Buyers responsibility to retract their own bid and not the Sellers responsibility to cancel a bid if a buyer wants to back out? What is the the proper procedure?

I have canceled bids for a bidder before if they wrote and ask me too, but what it's really their responsibly.
Did the color change? Poor reason.

They DON'T want a strike against them, bid retraction.(like that Actually means anything to e bay,but bidders THINK it is a BIG deal) How Seasoned is the bidder? Kill it before it spreads,,,If they WIN,,,,,NPB and a real waste of time and e bay will STILL make MONEY!

forgive my attitude: you are right; the bidder has the responsiblity. you have the right to do the same. having said that, is the current bidder gonna be the winning bidder if you dont cancel their bid? THAT SHOULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

It is possible that this bidder tried to retract the bid. My guess is they changed their mind longer than 12 hours after they placed the bid. Once that time period has passed, then they cannot retract the bid.
I would go ahead and cancel the bid ASAP and allow someone who really wants it a chance to bid. This person clearly don't want it and isn't going to pay you. Why even waste your time pretending about this person paying. Dump the bid and move on.

Stone - do you ever get anything right?
You can retract a bid whenever you want unless the auction is in it's final day.
Only if you place a bid in the final 24 hours do you have the time limit for retraction.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?
