Option A Open a dispute via eBay's Dispute Console

Open a dispute via eBay's Dispute Console

As the seller, you can report an Unpaid Item up to 45 days after the transaction date. (The transaction date is the day an auction-style listing ended or the day you buyer bought an item using Buy It Now.)

Normally you have to wait until at least 7 days after the transaction date to open a dispute. However, you can open a dispute straight away if:

  • at the time of opening the dispute, the buyer is no longer a registered user of eBay, or
  • the seller and buyer wish to withdraw mutually from the transaction

If your buyer is no longer a registered user, you'll receive a Final Value Fee credit.

 
 
Option B Open dispute through mutual withdrawal

Open dispute through mutual withdrawal

If you and the buyer both wish to withdraw from the transaction, you should open a dispute and choose the "Mutual Withdrawal" option. As long as the buyer does not respond to disagree with the mutual withdrawal, you'll be able to get a Final Value Fee credit.
