I was thinking. Imagine if somebody bid on something in the Auction House, but after the bid they found out how much they bidded wasn't how much the Pokemon was worth, they had overpaid in PD (this could be extremely aggrovating for newer users), and they wanted to remove their bid. So the previous bid would be put into place again.

I'm sure this has been suggested before.

This has been suggested before, probably rejected too. But if it hasn't, then No Support.

Auctions in PH are supposed to work the same IRL (in real life).

There is a starting bid, example 50,000. People can keep bidding higher and higher numbers, for example:

Man 1: Bids 50,001
Man 2: Bids 55,000
Man 1: Re-bids 60,000
Man 3: Bids 80,000

And then Man 3 wins, because he bid the highest and the time was over. Man 1 and 2 gained their money back, but Man 3 won the item/Pokemon.

This is how Auctions work, and it will never change.

This could (sadly) be abused in so many ways by players. You could set a high bid to annoy other bidders and remove it right before the auction ends. And this would also drop the auction house economy a bit, since users could just take their offer back when they found a cheaper auction.
In general you should be careful when setting a bid... Since it cannot be undone, for realistic reasons.
