Cancel order
Title: No item, no refund, seller unresponsive — return option disappeared after mistake
Post:
Hi everyone, I need advice with an order issue.
Timeline
I purchased the item on and waited for the seller to ship.
The seller never shipped. I opened a cancellation request.
The seller still didn’t ship and canceled my refund, instead of sending the item or issuing a refund.
The seller has not replied to my messages.
By mistake, I opened a return request and then closed it. After that, eBay no longer shows the “Return†option for this order.
It’s been about 2 months—I have no item and no refund.
What I’m asking for
Guidance on the next step to get help under eBay Money Back Guarantee and to restore/refund the order.
If there’s a way to reopen the case or ask eBay to step in when the return option is gone.
What I can provide
Screenshots of the listing and order details
My message thread with the seller (showing no response)
Any tracking info (if any)
Screenshot showing the missing Return option
Thanks in advance for any help or directions!
Quick tips for posting
Replace {DATE_PURCHASED} and {ORDER_NUMBER} (or redact the last digits if you prefer privacy).
Attach the screenshots as the Community allows (hide personal info).
After posting, also go to your order page and check if “Ask eBay to step in†appears in the case details—if yes, click it.
