Help. My auction ends in 27 hours and just got a message from highest bidder (so far) that she wants me to cancel her bid since she found one locally. It is a large, kind of bulky item with shipping around $45, but in demand, so apparently some don't mind paying it. How will canceling a bid make my auction look? I really do think that the auction will go higher, but I am not sure what her max bid is, so she very well could win it. What should I do?

I would cancel it. Better to do that then deal with a non-paying bidder and having to relist.

can't she cancel her bid? I thought that they could? I may be wrong.

I would make her cancel the bid herself - HERE IS THE LINK so she can cancel the bid herself.

You might remind her :
It is ONLY OK to retract a bid if...,

You accidentally enter a wrong bid amount (for example, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95). If this occurs, re-enter the correct bid amount immediately.

The description of an item you have bid on has changed significantly.

You cannot reach the seller. This means that you have tried calling the seller and the seller's phone number doesn't work, or you have tried emailing the seller and it comes back undeliverable.
