    If the buyer asked, yes, cancel.  If not, you could be facing a return.  Choose the reason buyer requested.  

     

    As @woodland_gnome said, buyers can only request a cancellation, not initiate one.

    The buyer cannot cancel a transaction.  S/he can only request the seller to cancel and then it is up to the seller to do so or not.  (There is a special request procedure during the first hour where the cancellation goes through if the seller does not respond within 3 days and the buyer hasn't paid).

     

    Under more actions for that listing in your list of sold items (e.g. Seller Hub, My eBay: Selling) should be an entry to cancel the transaction.  On the confirmation screen should be a choice of reason (in this case the buyer requested--be careful to choose the right one so you don't get a defect) and an option to relist or not.
