seller who sends the order despite cancellation 8 minutes after purchase
Summary: edez3775 bought a tarp and requested to cancel the order shortly after realizing a mistake, but did not get a response from the seller and the order was confirmed and shipped. They are wondering whether they should refuse the package or accept it in order to return it. koalagris advises accepting the package so it can be returned and refunded, while madelodie mentions that it is up to the seller to decide whether or not to accept the cancellation. koalagris adds that refusing the package could mean giving up eBay’s customer guarantee.
Hello, I bought a tarp that wasn’t the right model,
when I received the purchase confirmation email, I realized my mistake,
right away (less than 10 minutes) I do the process on the site to request the cancellation of the order, specifying as the reason that it’s a mistaken order.
nothing happens for three days, after that delay, a message tells me that my cancellation has not been taken into account because there is no response from the seller, and a few hours later the order is approved, shipped.
I find this very abusive, should the package be refused on delivery?
or should I accept it and then go through the steps to return it?
Thank you.

it's the seller who decides whether to accept the cancellation or not.
You can refuse the package.
Best regards.

"should I refuse the package upon delivery?" : no, because the customer guarantee will not apply to cover the refund.
"or should I accept it and then start the return process?" : yes, with return shipping costs at your expense (mistake/change of mind).
