You made it. You just bought something on eBay. But there is a problem. You either found the same thing cheaper somewhere or You overestimated your funds. Do not worry, because if you made your purchase in the last hour, you can request that the seller cancel your order as long as they haven’t already shipped it. If it’s been more than an hour since your purchase, you need to contact the seller and ask them to cancel it for you.

Once the item was shipped out and also received the seller, eBay will automatically notify them to inspect the item. After the inspection is completed, the seller can initiate the refund and eBay will automatically refund any seller fees associated with this particular purchase.
