Order Cancellations and Refunds

Buyer or sellers may cancel an order with a valid reason. For a list of reasons to cancel an order, see our Order Cancellation Policy. Cancelling an order will return all items from the order to the seller's inventory and the order status will change to Cancelled.

Order Cancellation Requirements
The option to cancel an order will appear only if the following conditions are met:

For Sellers:

  • An Order Cancel Request (OCR) is Filed – The order may be cancelled immediately if the seller filed the OCR. If the buyer filed the OCR, it is strictly up to the seller to agree to order cancellation.
  • A Non-Paying Buyer (NPB) Alert is Filed – The NPB must be active for two weeks if buyer responds or one week if buyer does not respond. The option to cancel also appears if the NPB is filed and buyer agrees to accept penalty for cancellation (this status is NPX).
  • The Buyer's Account is Terminated

For Buyers:

Return Items to Seller's Inventory

If an item is already in the seller's inventory, that item will be Consolidated with the same inventory item. Otherwise, the item will be added as a new lot to the seller's inventory. On the Problem Order page, below the option to cancel the order, sellers can choose to edit items before returning them to inventory. Sellers can edit or delete any items in the order before the items are returned to their inventory. Sellers can also select whether they want to consolidate items with existing items in their inventory using old or new values. The process of editing items consists of four steps.

  1. Select Consolidation Options
  2. Edit Items
  3. Verify Items
  4. Upload Items to Inventory and Cancel Order

If the seller decides not to edit items or the buyer cancels the order with NSS or NRS, then the order is canceled in a one-step process where the items are consolidated using old values for all item fields. Items are not returned to the seller's inventory if the buyer cancels the order with NSS or NRS or if the seller’s account is terminated.
