How do i cancel a bid/purchase mistake?

[used2b]

I need help. I bid on an item in the last minute of the auction, then realized that the item that I was bidding on was not what i needed. Unfortunately I won the bid, and now i need to reverse the transaction before the seller ships to me. There were other bidders and I was only $1.00 higher than the previous bidder. I emailed the seller as soon as the auction ended, but he/she has not responded to my request for reversal. is there such a thing as "buyer remorse" for us stupid bidders that make error judgements?

Have you tried clicking "customer support"  top of ebay pageand entering "cancel a purchase" in the search boxes?

[used2b]

Yes, I did that too. As of this time 11:10 Pacific time, the seller has not responded

You will just have to wait for the seller to respond

A purchase is considered a contract so really you are obliged to pay for it

They might open a payment not received dispute if you dont pay and an unpaid item will be recorded on your account

Thanks for the advice,

The seller finally got back to me and cancelled/refunded the transaction. She was very helpfull!

Thanks,
