You don't need to report issues related to specific orders. Instead, read our articles on:
When to report a buyer
You should only report a buyer if you think they're violating our policies. Here are a few examples of when to report a buyer:
- The buyer is demanding something that wasn't offered in the original listing
- You believe the buyer is making a false claim
- You believe the buyer is misusing eBay Money Back Guarantee or the returns system
- They've asked you to complete a sale off eBay
- They're abusing the bid retraction process, repeatedly bidding and then retracting bids
- They're messaging you more than what would be considered normal, with no intention of buying the item
If an item is returned used or damaged, eligible sellers can deduct an amount from the buyer's refund. Learn more about our seller protections. If an item is returned with significant damage or the wrong item is returned, we may be able to help.
