I think ebay might have something to say about that. You'd have to read ebay's terms and conditions.
Bids can only be withdrawn under certain circumstances, and finding the item cheaper isn't one of them. Sellers would be very annoyed if they lost a sale because of "interference" by someone who knows better than the current bidder.
I don't know, but I suspect you could be on very dodgy ground by contacting a bidder. It might even be illegal to do this once bidding is underway. From one perspective it would be ethical to tell the bidder, from another it would unethical to the seller who is offering items for auction to get the highest price they can.
Provided the description is accurate auction is covered by the rule "caveat emptor" - "buyer beware", ie do your research before bidding.
