Using this information, you can contact the seller directly with your question or request. By contacting the seller directly, you can get a solution faster or discuss your needs further.

The process for eBay sellers to cancel customer orders

Reasons and effects of seller’s order cancellation

An order can be canceled on the eBay platform either by the buyer or by the seller. If the order is canceled due to the seller’s reasons, the order will be counted as a bad transaction, which will affect the seller’s rating, and the buyer may also leave a negative review for the seller, affecting the seller’s store operations.

There may be many reasons why eBay sellers cancel customer orders, such as insufficient inventory, logistics issues, product quality issues, etc. No matter what the situation is, sellers need to contact customers in a timely manner to inform them of the situation to avoid customer dissatisfaction and complaints.

Detailed steps to cancel an order

1. After the seller logs into the platform, find “My eBay” and click the “Sold Items” button;
2. The seller then needs to click on the “Function Menu” option next to the listing, and then click “Resolve Problem”, and the “Resolution Center-Resolve Problem” form will be displayed;
3. Then click “Item has been sold, but I want to cancel the transaction”;
4. The “Cancel Transaction” page will be displayed next. If the seller goes from the item listing page to the Resolution Center, the system will automatically fill in the number, but if the seller goes to the page in other ways, the seller needs to enter the item number;

5. The seller then needs to explain the reason for canceling the order in the “Tell the buyer why you want to cancel the transaction” option. Buyers generally have 7 days to respond. If you do not receive a reply after 7 days, you can end the dispute and get a refund of the closing fee.

Notes

Under normal circumstances, the seller can raise a dispute within 45 days from the transaction date, and needs to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the transaction is completed. In order to avoid frequent order cancellations, sellers need to update their inventory in a timely manner to avoid insufficient inventory. Sellers also need to strictly control product quality to ensure that the products meet customer expectations.
