I accidentally refunded a buyer whose item still has not been shipped. I contacted the buyer and explained the error. The item is still showing up needing to be shipped although the refund has been applied.
I asked the buyer to repurchase the item once she is confident her original funds have been applied to her account.
What do I do with an item that has been refunded by accident that is still showing up in needs to be shipped?

Hi @CombinedSavings_15,
Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about the trouble. Currently, our system will not remove the “not shipped” notification for a canceled transaction until 30 days after the transaction date. We apologize for the inconvenience. As a workaround, some sellers will mark the item as “shipped” and add a shipping note indicating the transaction was canceled and the buyer was refunded. Another option is to permanently hide the transaction using the link in the upper right-hand corner of the transaction summary. Please note that it may take a few moments for the unshipped notification to disappear from your account after hiding the transaction.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
