Hope this will help.
Since the auction is over, you can not cancel a bid - however you can work with the seller and do a mutual agreement to cancel the transaction I know it seems like I am being picky, but it makes a difference to eBay.
The seller has to start the process, and you are required to agree to this in response when you receive a message from eBay.
The worst case scenario is that the item will go unpaid and a unpaid mark will go against your record. Since you have asked, and the seller doesn't seem to know what they are doing - just let it happen and be very careful in the future.
Dear Seller, I've checked with people. Only you can cancel my bid. To do this, see the instructions in this link.

Thank you.
you can't the seller has to do it on his end.

I know that you can't technically, but I won the bid for the item but I realized I can't buy it anymore. Anyway, I contacted the seller and told them my explanation and they said it's fine and could be canceled. The seller said for me to do it though, how do I do that?
