Refunds constantly showing as 'processing' but then don't go through
Summary: kerryn1979 is experiencing ongoing issues with the refund process as a seller, where refunds show as 'processing' but don't complete, requiring manual intervention from customer support. They expressed frustration over the recurring problem and later learned from support that it is a known technical glitch. lezned-toycollector mentioned not experiencing such issues.
I wondered if anyone else is having recent issues with the refund process as a seller. I have had issues on and off for a month or two, but the past week whenever I issue a refund (which I do as way of providing discount to customer) it says it's processing, but then I never get a notification to say it's gone through. Each time I'm having to contact ebay who then say they have to escalate it, then they say they have to push it through manually. I asked why this is happening but have not been given a reason. So I wondered if it's just a glitch on my account or if others are having same issue. One I had a couple of weeks ago was a customer cancelled, so I approved the cancellation, and thought no more of it - then a week later received a notification saying that it couldn't be processed. Then I couldn't re-cancel or refund, customer couldn't do anything on their end. After many contacts with ebay, and no one was able to advise what the problem was, it eventually went through. It's just getting very frustrating having to contact customer service every day to ask them to manually process the refund!

OP3 weeks agoI contacted them again tonight as had another one that wouldn't go through and was told that it's a known technical glitch that they are working on resolving. But perhaps it's not affecting all sellers.
