Inactive Sellers accounts after purchases
Hi - I made 3 different purchases in one day, 9/12. Not a big time lapse but viewed today: 1 had shipped same day. The other 2 when I selected the sellers name state that the account is no longer active. I think if I try to cancel the order, eBay takes months & still challenges with working with the seller - this occurred when the item hadn’t shipped after months. I’m going to try and send a message to each but this is concerning that I would have $ 600+ tied up for months and have to go thru credit card for cancellation.

The seller may still ship the items.
The listing for the item I bought has disappeared
If you've bought an item but can't find the listing on the site anymore, you should still be able to find the listing details in one of the following places:
If we've removed a listing, and you've already bought and paid for the item, we recommend waiting 10 days for it to arrive. If your item hasn't arrived after 10 days, let us know. If you receive your item, but want to return it, you can request a refun

Mentor1 year ago@shaynelm A buyer can only REQUEST to cancel. The seller can approve or decline it. I doubt that they will see the cancel request since they are no longer a registered user.

So unfortunately you do need to wait and file the not received refund requests as I mentioned above
