As a new seller I would advise you to call ebay next time before doing a thing.

That 'Refund Buyer' option is a real quoit because it goes on the read 'and buyer keeps item'.

If you have been set up for Automatic Returns, I am pretty sure the buyer must still send the item back.

btw You can get your funds released once the buyer has left feedback or on line tracking indicates

the item has been delivered. You don't have to wait 21 days normally.
