Once a bid is placed, it cannot be retracted. :( The good news is that you have 16 hours for someone to outbid you.. which will *probably* happen. Be sure to check not only how much shipping is but if they don't put HOW they want paid for that shipping ASK!! Some folks don't take paypal and others ONLY take paypal and everything in between.. you don't want to bid then get stuck being supposed to pay in a way that you can't or are not comfortable with!:) Good luck! :)
