Can't really see a problem with contacting the other bidder. Seller will benefit from greater price. Other bidder might decide not to increase bid just to annoy you though ;-)
i have just checked - you can only retract a bid if: -
You make a typographical error and enter the wrong bid amount. For instance, you bid �99.50 instead of �9.95. If this happens, enter the correct bid amount immediately after you retract your bid. If you do not place another bid, the retraction will be in violation of eBay's policy and could result in your suspension. Please review the retraction guidelines if you need to retract your bid.
The description of an item you have bid on changed significantly after you placed your bid.
You cannot contact the seller. This means that you tried to call the seller, but their phone number doesn't work, or that you have tried emailing a message to the seller and it comes back undeliverable.
I feel bad contacting the fellow bidder, he might tell me to eff off!
just do it.
whats the worst that can happen? if they say no - so what?
they may be glad you did, as they may really want the item but think you want it more.
i am also sure the seller would rather that than you not paying or retracting your bid
its only a shop - there are no laws that say offering the item to another shopper is against the law.
if it comes down to it you can always sell the item again yourself.
