説明分をよく読んでいなかった為に誤って入札をしてしまいました｡
DHLでベルリンまで送って頂くことは可能でしょうか?もし無理でしたらキャンセルをしたいと思います｡

I didn't read instruction well and mistakenly bid.
Can you send it to Berlin by DHL? If not I would like to cancel.

There is nothing wrong with saying "Can you ~", but this could sound a little demanding while this person is the one caused the trouble by mistake. Instead, you could use the word "Would it be possible to send it to Berlin by DHL?" This makes it sounds little more polite and shows his/her apology and appreciation for the help.
