I mistakenly marked something that is paid that is not. How can I correct it?

Hi, I just did this myself, and here is what I know from working with eBay.

1) There used to be an 'unmark as paid' that you could click. That has been gone for some time

2) You can't unmark as paid, and the buyer can no longer pay.

3) I've been unable to cancel the sale.

4) My order is in awaiting shipment, but there is no date, and it does not appear to be a late shipment.

5) I was assessed FVF by eBay when I marked it as shipped.

6) It's not possible to ship since there is no buyer address.

If your buyer wants the item:

- Relist it (sell similar)

- Have the buyer pay for the new item

- Ship

If your buyer doesn't want the item,

- Wait an adequate time

- Relist your item

- Just ignore the order that shows awaiting shipment.

2) Use eBay's social media customer service to get assistance.

After explaining what happened, ask eBay to refund your FVF, since there was no sale.

Just sent a private message to the page explaining what happened.

I should have been clearer in my message. The item was not paid for. I marked it paid by mistake. How can I change it to waiting for payment so I can send the buyer an invoice.
