The Secret On How to Cancel an eBay Order

eBay is the online shopping monster that generated $10.8 billion in revenue in 2019. The giant shopping network has 1.5 billion active accounts, and 182 million global eBay users. Those numbers are sure to conceal a few customers who want to cancel eBay orders. But how do you cancel an eBay order?

The eBay shopping network is famous for its online auctions and consumer-to-consumer sales. In general, order cancellations are in the seller's control. eBay's buyers can request that a seller cancel an order, but the success of that request may depend on whether the seller already shipped the item. Sellers have three days to ship an item with the understanding that the buyer receives the shipment within two weeks.

DoNotPay is here to help you cancel your eBay order.

How to Cancel an eBay Transaction?

Sellers on eBay have no obligation to accept the buyer's request to cancel an order. As a practical matter, however, if a buyer orders an item online with the express understanding that the buyer needs the item by a certain date, then the buyer is entitled to cancel the order if the buyer does not receive it in time. The buyer can then request a refund. If a seller never ships an item or refuses a refund, buyers take heart in eBay's Money-Back Guarantee which means the buyer can request a refund from the seller.

Consumers may try to cancel eBay transactions. The Get Help function on eBay's website helps buyers with refunds, returns, and notifications to sellers that they have not received the item they bought.

To Cancel an Order

To cancel an order, consumers can go to their Purchase History and locate the item in question. Next, the customer should select More Actions from the drop menu. Then, select Close Request and choose the reason from the menu. Please note, however: Once the buyer opts for the Close Request option, the buyer cannot reopen the order.

To Contact eBay for Help

If consumers do not receive the help they need from either the seller or from eBay's help pages, they can try to contact eBay. eBay's automated assistant will try to resolve the issue.

Alternatively, consumers may decide to call to speak to an eBay customer service agent. But trying to reach customer service agents can result in frustration and wasted time sitting on hold on a telephone tree. eBay also does not readily provide a telephone number on its website for customer service contact.
