Can I undo an auction bid?

Post by Hannah Sandiford »

I don’t know if this is something that can be done, but is it possible to undo/change/delete a maximum bid on an auction? I only started playing a couple of days ago so not sure if this is an option or not, but can’t find anywhere obvious that I can do this.

I read the wrong gallop comment for the horse I was bidding on and bid way more than I would be comfortable paying for the horse’s actual rating, especially as this horse will be my first yearling (buying a yearling is something I was unsure about doing at this stage anyway!)

Unfortunately the auction ends in 5 hours so may not get an answer before, but just thought I’d ask!

You can go rebid the max to a lower amount, but it will raise the current cost a dollar.

Thank you, the current bid is pretty close to my max but that seems like the best option if I can’t cancel.

Nevermind. I think your problem has gone away now.

Thank you! Had another look at the auction and there are some other babies in there that are much more ‘in budget’ so will try and pick up one or two of those :)
