Once your item has a FedEx tracking number issued your order cannot be cancelled,

Not my policy but eBay policy.
Fedex will make 3 attemted deliverys. After that it will be held for several more days at Fedex facilty. If you do not pickup your item in a timley manner it will be return to the seller and Fedex does charged the seller for the item being return to the seller and you will need to pay the cost of having the item being return to the seller and pay to have it reshipped. If you choose not to pay for the cost of the item being returned and not pay to have it reshipped you void your purchase and there will be no refund. This is ebay policy.
