How To Delete A Purchase With A Payment

Remove a won item or purchase that has already been paid for, then remove or refund the payment.

Deleting a paid purchase takes two steps, both on the Activity tab of the Participant Details page:

  1. Delete the winning bid or purchase.
  2. Remove or refund the payment.

Payments aren't attached to specific items, so deleting the purchase doesn't change the payment. Until you do Step 2, the participant shows a credit balance.


Step 1: Delete The Winning Bid Or Purchase

On the participant's Activity tab, click the red X beside the line under Items Won or Purchases.
