If you have more than 24 hours left in the auction, you can withdraw your bid. If less than 24 hours, then you will have to write to the seller and ask him to remove you from the bidding. The seller can remove you from the auction at any time.
If you win the auction but do not pay, the seller will file a complaint and ask for any fees he paid to be re-imbursed. He will, most likely, leave negative feedback... perhaps calling you a deadbeat. If you get enough negative feedback, people will be less likely to deal with you.
E-Bay also monitors the situation. They will send you a warning. If you do this again, they may suspend you. It is unlikely they will suspend you for only one infraction.

Well, if you dont pay you get bad feedback --and that will affect your future selling and buying because people really look at the feedback. One bad feedback wont hurt much, but it could. Dont pay and the second highest bidder will get a message from the seller stating that she/he has now won. =)

...Why don't you pay for it and then once you receive it put it up for auction on ebay again?

The best thing for you to do would be to pay for any items you win, whether you want them or not. You did bid on them and if you are the winning bidder, you are supposed to honor your bid, according to the eBay terms you agreed to when you signed up to eBay.
If you really, really don't want the items, the next best thing you could do is to contact the seller(s)whose item(s) you won and explain you made a mistake, and (this is VERY important) offer to pay their listing fees for your mistake.
You see, the seller has to pay eBay the listing fees for selling the item, whether or not you pay for it, they are out money. If you offer to pay those fees, the seller might agree not to turn you in as a NPB (Non-Paying Bidder).
If you can't get your seller(s) to agree to that, or if you simply win and don't pay, expect to receive negative feedback, and a complaint against you as a Non-Paying-Bidder. If you receive a few of those complaints (and/or too much negative feedback) you will become NARU (Not A Registered User) as eBay will not allow you to bid anymore.

I've never used ebay before, but my parents do and one of my sisters, as well. I guess the only thing you really can do is pray that somebody bids higher than you. Either that or look around and see if there is an option to cancel the bid. Your last resort is emailing or messaging the person who has it up on auction and letting them know about the situation. Sorry if I'm not much help! Good luck on that...
