  3. Click on the BIDS tab and begin removing bids from the bottom until you reach the top. This will make sure that none of your bidders are notified when removing the bids from the item. Removing bids from the top of the list down will reassign the winner which will notify your bidder.

  5. Once you have removed all the bids on the item it is very important that you do not select the green "Update" button because it will mark the item sold. After you remove all the bids, you can either keep the item open, remove the item or hide it from your auction depending on how you want to handle the item.
