Returning an item while it’s still in transit

[ebenbana_43]

Hi, I asked for the item to be returned (because it was taking wayy too long) while it was still in transit with the delivery and eBay wants me to return it when I don’t have the package.

To make things worse, the seller has removed the listing so I think they might be trying to scam me for my money.

Im trying to get in contact with eBay but it’s really hard. 
Please help

And it won’t even let me close the request
