Request for support with partial return/refund
Summary: dungv17 seeks assistance from eBay's support team on how to process a partial refund because a buyer has opened a return case for part of the purchased items. They need guidance on managing this as the eBay system does not currently offer an option for partial refunds, and they missed the deadline for providing a return label. They've asked for instructions on how to proceed correctly.
Hello eBay Support Team,
a buyer would like to return only part of the purchased item. However, since the buyer has opened an official return case, the eBay system is currently not giving me an option for a partial refund.
Unfortunately, I missed the deadline for providing a return label because I was unsure how to proceed correctly in this specific case.
Therefore, I am asking for your help and guidance on how I can correctly process the partial refund for the buyer.
Thank you very much for your support.

MentorAug 16, 2026 at 3:50 PMThere are no partial returns on eBay! Either everything or nothing.
If the buyer has opened an official return, you can offer a partial refund within it, provided the buyer did not receive a return label after the deadline passed.
However, if you offer a partial refund, that also means the buyer can keep the item or items and does not have to send them back.
