If you win a bid on Ebay and then change your mind about buying it, can you go back on the deal?

I don't think you can. Unless someone outbids you. Then you just don't bid again.

Not by their rules. When you place a bid on eBay, you are bound to honour that bid if you win. If you change your mind: a) You promised to pay a certain amount and now you relinquish. This is a loss to the seller and a huge risk that the seller may not even get the same amount of money the next time they place the item for bid; b) Because they have to relist the item, it will cost additional listing fees; c) It has ramifications on your profile, because you will not likely get positive feedback. Worst case, you might get suspended. When sellers see a comment on your profile that you (at least once) went back on a deal, they even have the right to cancel your bid on future auctions. Meaning you might have difficulty buying things in future. Sellers on eBay are really pissed right now at the recent rule changes that have occurred and are starting to play hardball with anyone that abuses the system.

If you are at a public auction and you try to back out, I think they will haul you into a back room and rough you up. Why did you place a bid if you weren't 100 perecent sure?

What if you find out the shipping is 200 times the cost of the item? Not such a good deal after all. Bought something for 1.89 and they were charging 65.00 to ship?!?!?!? How can I go back on the deal?
