Second Chance Offer

[suejs59red]

Hi everybody, I sold an item and the buyer didn't pay.  I did the second chance offer thing (but have never done it before so not sure if I did it right) but it didn't sell.   I now want to relist it but get a message advising that I cant edit, relist or sell simlar - why is that?  It's not my fault the buyer didn't pay and it seems I'm going to have to go to vinted to sell it - unless I'm missing something?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance

You need to close down the first 'non sale' completely before 2nd. chance/relist options appear >

See the recent eBay Auto opened and actioned  > Unpaid/Cancel < case process which can be closed after 5 days to recover the FVF selling fees due and Non payers are given a non payment defect/strike =

'We’ll proactively send reminders to buyers asking them to pay. After 5 calendar days, sellers can cancel the transaction using the 'Buyer hasn't paid' reason in Seller Hub'.'

Sellers  can  also set their Preferences to handle cases manually >

You haven't told us whether you first used eBay's new procedure to cancel unpaid items: https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/New-cancel-function-for-unpaid-items/ba-p/6939127

Yes once payment hadn't been received after sending an invoice and making contact with the seller after that I cancelled the item - as you can no longer open an unpaid item case (as far as I can see)
