LoongBuy Order Cancellation Guide: Before Shipment
Changed your mind? Here's how to cancel your order smoothly and understand your refund options.
It happens to the best of us — you find a great item on LoongBuy, place an order, and then have a change of heart. Whether it's buyer's remorse, finding a better deal, or a simple mistake, canceling an order before the seller ships it
Two Main Scenarios for Cancellation
1. Canceling an Unpaid
If you haven't completed the payment yet, cancellation is straightforward.
- Go to "My Orders" in your LoongBuy account.
- Locate the pending order and click "Cancel Order".
- Select a reason from the dropdown menu (optional but helpful for the seller).
- Confirm the cancellation. The order will be closed immediately, and no payment will be processed.
Tip: Unpaid orders are often automatically canceled after a set period (e.g., 24-48 hours), but manual cancellation is instant and recommended.
2. Canceling a Paid but Unshipped
If you've already paid but the seller hasn't dispatched the item, you need to request cancellation.
- In "My Orders", find the paid order.
- Click "Contact Seller" or "Request Cancellation".
