So, I wanted to bid on some nanite swarms. I clicked what I thought was the nanite bid button and bid 1.3 billion. Only after the bid was placed did I notice the header text (which is ALOT smaller than the price box, fyi) said I bid on 3 zolazin debris. THAT IS INSANE I wouldnt bid 1.3B for that.. but there's no way to cancel my bid?? I'm going to be very unhappy if I have to pay for that crap.

There should be a bid confirmation that makes the BID ITEM NAME in big text and a yes/no under, for FIRST bids on an item. Apparently I'm not the only one who's made this mistake - so this is definitely going to be an issue.

Either a confirmation dialog on initial bid, or a 30 second grace period in which to cancel a bid (if it's not near the end of a bid timer) should be allowed.

And can you please cancel this damn bid (I am Enigma in game) :P

Thanks in advance

The item you are bidding on is highlighted. We could make it more clear with a red border or something similar. Please use in-game support if you need help with anything you mentioned.

You need to be Mylaria - I just bidded 20B on 50 spy probes - 30 minutes mining income for me.
