What happens if I can't send the package on time?
If the seller cannot ship the item on time, solutions are available.
From the transaction page
The seller can click on "A problem" and:
- report that they no longer have the item → immediate cancellation,
- request additional time from the buyer.
The buyer can accept or decline the request.
In case of inaction
- The seller receives several reminders and warnings.
- If the deadline is exceeded, the transaction is automatically canceled.
- The buyer is refunded.
Impact on the seller's account
Repeated delays can affect the account's reliability.
