5-Minute Buyer Cancellation Window Before Seller Notification
eBay should have a mechanism where it allows the buyer to cancel the order within 5min from purchase, and seller should get a 'sold item' notification 5min later. This would help everyone a lot.

·1 week agoNo, what would help everyone a lot would be for buyers to not buy something if they aren't ready to buy.

Is there a big problem with sellers not cancelling orders when the buyer asked to cancel due to a wrong address? I can tell you that 99% of the cancellation requests I recieve are for "bought by mistake." That's where the problem lies.

·1 week ago@toolsandpartswarehouse Buyers are given 1 hour after an auction ends to update or change their funding source or their delivery address. So they have far beyond 5 minutes to resolve this issue without having a cancellation.
On Fixed price listings, that is different of course, but buyers should be reviewing their screens to make sure the info is correct. It is all the assuming that is going on that causes most of these issues. I get it, we are all human.
