Click on more actions, and then finally hit Cancel.
Step 3: Indicate the Reason for the Cancellation
After you cancel the order, you will now need to select the reason why from the dropdown menu that will appear. Select one of the reasons from the options provided, or provide your own. Once you fill in your reason, you will see the refund amount that will be provided to your buyer.
Step 4: Message the Buyer
Next, you will see a text box that you can use to message the buyer. While you do not have to provide a reason for canceling the order, it might be in your best interest to provide one. Remember, the buyer can still leave reviews that might affect future purchases.
