PayPal funds refunded - how do I cancel the sale?

Customer inflated the quanity of the item, which I did not have.

If the money was refunded I would not ship the package.

If the funds are refunded & that shows on the order page and if no further actions are applicable on the order page, does that not indicate there is no sale and effectively "cancels" the sale?

I would think that is a correct statement. Plus I would definitely send message to buyer why they were refunded, because not enough stock, and I would give inventory list hoping to sale what was in stock.

Once you have refunded the buyer, it shows up in your sold items listing under RF and you do not have to do anything further. I would advise you to NOT delete this order from the list but keep it for a long while (a year at least - I never delete any of my orders) so you have proof of what happened, in case they come back in a month or two or six asking where their order is.

I don't understand how they could have inflated the quantity of your item that you had unless they ordered and paid for it more than once in a row within a few minutes. It is faster that the PP and eCRATER computers can tell each other than the one and only item has sold. Or whatever amount that you had. Otherwise there is no way for a customer to change an amount of how much they are buying.

I had Stripe triple-charge my customer on the same item, meaning she ordered 3 when I only had 1. They were all separate charges, so I was able to simply refund her the two extra and ship the one item she ordered. If yours is a single order of 3 identical items, couldn't you simply refund her for the items you don't have (and any extra shipping) and send her what you do have? If you think it will be a problem order, you can give the customer that option via email before doing anything. Of course, you should notify them of any actions you do take.

Of course, I realize the refund has already gone through, but it's something to consider in the future.

eCRATER limits the quantity the customer can order to the quantity that you specify in the listing. If you left the listing quantity blank, then eCRATER interprets that to mean you have an unlimited quantity. Please check your listings to verify that you have specified a quantity.

I picked one of your listings at random, added it to my shopping cart, and changed the quantity to 15. As it approved the quantity change, I suspect you have no quantity entered.

Good catch Cosmic. I never even thought of that but that is the only way a customer can add in more than what a seller has.

Thanks Cosmic!! If you forget to list quantity, the listing shows "10 or more" available.

Yesterday, I listed a signed first edition and missed setting the quantity. Luckily, there was no Google feed today.

I just finished doing a quick proof reading of all my 64 listings. I should of been doing this for each new listing. Proof reading is not one of my strengths!

This depends on the template you are using. With the template you are using, yes it shows the number of quantity available. If you are using the original templates like the OP the quantity doesn't show. After the buyer clicks buy now they can change the quantity at checkout. It does appear the OP has left the quantity blank.

It looks like eCrater now has a delete order on the order section of your store.

There has been one, for unpaid orders (which tangentially includes orders paid via non-immediate methods).

Any order that does not get paid for, I would never delete so that when someone writes you and says where is my whatever, you can find their order and see that you got no payment. I have had many that order a pattern from other sellers here and so when they realize that they didn't get it, rather than having kept the order information, they just look for who might have a copy which usually I have a copy and so they then write me and ask where is it. Generally without any info such as when bought, their name, address, etc. But because I do not delete orders, I can tell with a little searching that they didn't buy it from me (too bad as they would have gotten it) and so not knowing who they ordered from I send them to the eCRATER team to help them figure it out.

If you delete orders that are unpaid for, etc. You can not say for sure a month or more after the fact that someone didn't in fact buy something from you as so have taken away any evidence.

If someone pays multiple times and has to be refunded , I do not delete those either as I want to see that, yes, I did refund them. At this point I have not heard that after a certain amount of time we have to delete orders, I leave them. Keeping them is more beneficial to me than deleting them.
