eBay sellers in the UK are reporting receiving an error message saying "your refund did not go through. Please try again later or contact us" when trying to process refunds to buyers.

Affected sellers say they have a positive balance showing in their Payments balance and valid backup payment method on file.

There are no other holds or errors on the account that would cause an issue with processing a refund, so it's likely a technical glitch on eBay's side.

Cannot refund buyer’s returns via ebay system, is it glitch?
Try to refund a buyer’s returns request and on the refund page, it says the refund cannot go through. We have positive balance in account, so is it glitch?

Lovely today with that. A certain forum member mentioned moderators actions and had nothing more than their post removed. When I previously did, I was banned again.

Is this supposed to be good? Its one small step for the AI to ban what it doesn't approve. This is an unfolding dystopian nightmare.

I have items, here in the US, that are not indexing in search 24 hours after I listed them yesterday. Search key terms that are in the title does not show them, similar items that I listed Thursday are showing, but nothing from Friday or Saturday yet.
