How to Cancel Your eBay Order as a Seller

You finally did it, you sold an item. However, now you would like to cancel your eBay order for whatever reason. Maybe you cannot locate the item you are selling or the eBay buyer asked you to cancel the order on their behalf. In any case, canceling an eBay order is quite simple, in particular as long as you have not sent out the sold item. If you have already sent out the item the cancelation process is a bit more difficult, as the buyer needs to return the item.

After the inspection is completed, you as a seller can initiate the refund and eBay will automatically refund any seller fees associated with this particular purchase.
