Cancellation/Refund pending/confirmation... please help

Hello,

 

A buyer cancelled his order with me after he paid.  I cancelled the order and refunded his money.  Now the refund is 'pending' and says " waiting for the buyer to confirm they received a refund for this order."  But the buyer doesn't know how to do this and I don't know either.  Can someone please help me with simple instructions that I can pass along to him?  I can tell he's not familiar with ebay/computers, so the simpler the better.  Thanks so much in advance!

I had to cancel an order, and immediately refunded the buyer via Paypal.  Buyer has never confimed that they received the refund, although I have messaged her politely twice to please confirm receipt of refund.

Now I am getting message that order can't be canceled because I have not refunded the money, although it was refunded Nov. 9.

What to do now?

The best way to do it is to cancel in eBay as the buyer automatically gets refunded and usually the cancellation is immediate.  If you refunded them through pp rather than eBay you may have to phone eBay and ask them to cancel it for you.

Re: Cancellation/Refund pending/confirmation... please help

Can everyone please shed some skin on cancelling and refunding at eBay. There seems to be two levels:

 

For some sellers, the refund is immediate.

 

For other sellers, eBay gives the buyer 10 days to confirm the refund.

 

No, this is not the old cancel transaction: It's still happening, right now.
