How to open a case on eBay
As a seller on eBay, you may encounter situations where you need to open a case against a buyer. This could happen if the buyer doesn’t pay for the item or if you have to cancel an order after accepting it. By opening a case, you’ll protect yourself as a seller and ensure that eBay remains a safe and fair marketplace for everyone.
It’s important to remember that opening a case should only be done when necessary and as a last resort. Before opening a case, try communicating with the buyer and finding a solution together. eBay will review the case and take action against the buyer if necessary, such as canceling the transaction.
#1. Cancellation of a transaction
Sometimes, you may need to cancel a transaction because the item is out of stock or you no longer want to sell it. When this happens, you can go to the eBay Resolution Center and start the cancellation process.
You need to choose a reason for the cancellation, such as “item out of stock” or “buyer requested to cancel.” It’s important to remember that canceling a transaction should only happen in certain situations, like when the item is out of stock or when you can’t complete the sale.
The case should only be opened when necessary and as a last resort. Before opening a case, try communicating with the buyer and finding a solution together.
#2. Unpaid Item Assistant
If you are selling multiple items and find it challenging to go through this process often, you can activate the Unpaid Item Assistant. After opting for the Unpaid Item Assistant, your grievances will automatically open and close. This will help you save time. Also, this will ensure you don’t miss receiving the final value fee for each case raised.
Remember that there is a time limit to close an unpaid item case. The time limit is 32 days. If you don’t close the unpaid item case within this time limit, eBay will close the open case. But if eBay does so, you will not be paid anything as the final value fee of the item.
How to use the eBay Resolution Center?
If a buyer has yet to pay you for the sale, you can open up the case in the Resolution Center and ask eBay to step in and mediate. But before reporting the issue, you should try your best to contact the buyer and get things sorted between you.
#1. Raising a Complaint with eBay Resolution Center

#2. Closing a Complaint
Now, if the buyer pays through your selected payment method after the mediation of eBay Resolution Center, the eBay open case will be automatically closed for you. Now you don’t need to do anything at your end.
#2.1 Closing a Complaint after getting a resolution
But, if the buyer pays with any other method, you must go to the “eBay Seller Hub”/”My eBay” and mark the item as delivered. Afterward, go to the Resolution Center for eBay and mark the case closed. Let’s see how you can do it.

The time limit is five days.

Hello Haridimos Zavolas,
I hope you're having a great day!
I want to inform you that various reasons could have led to the cancelation of your listings by eBay. If you wish to relist the item, you'll have to get in contact with eBay.
However, you can relist the product by creating a new listing for it. To do so you'll have to enter the complete details related to your product.
You can also get in contact with our technical experts, who will guide and help you recognize the error with the listing and why eBay canceled it.
Hope it was of help.
