Can you cancel your
eBay
 subscription? Check eligibility and conditions

 On eBay Australia, you can request to cancel an order before the seller ships the item. Approval depends on the seller's response:

  • Before Shipment: Eligible to request cancellation. Sellers typically accept if the order hasn't shipped yet.

  • After Shipment: Cancellation isn’t available - your option then is to return the item according to the seller’s returns policy.

  • Bid or Offer Retraction: Possible before an auction ends or an offer is accepted, under specific conditions like errors.

  • Seller-Initiated Cancellation: Sometimes sellers cancel if an item is out of stock or upon your request. You're entitled to a full refund.

eBay Plus Subscription:

  • Cancel Anytime: No lock-in contracts. Cancel your subscription anytime via account settings.

  • 14-Day Refund Window: If your membership renews, cancel within 14 days of renewal to receive a full refund. Benefits cease immediately upon refund.
