With regards to cancelling bids:
We are going to be enhancing the systems so that bids expire if the domain is renewed or grabbed elsewhere.
We cannot give people the ability to remove their own bids before a domain drops because this encourages fraud e.g.
I create two accounts MarkA and MarkB, MarkA bids $25 on hotdomain.com with a max proxy bid of $100K, MarkB then bids $26 with a max proxy of $99K. The price is then $99K and no-one else bids as they only think hotdomain.com is worth $10K. A few minutes before I think the domain is going to drop I log in as MarkB and cancel my bid. End result, if namewinner grabs the domain I (as MarkA) gets a $10K domain for $25.
