    As a fellow buyer on ebay, I believe the ebay delivery dates are one of the best things since sliced bread. 😁

    Yes, ebay sets the date range but sellers can tweak them to a degree, depending on their handling time.

     

    So I don't care if a seller is in China or on the moon, if their listing has a delivery date, i expect them to keep to it, or close to it.

    I will allow for a few days over but I always keep in mind that there is only 30 days in which to open a claim with ebay.

    So if an item is over the delivery date range and after a few extra days have passed, I would always open an ebay dispute claim.

     

    When you see the delivery date range on an ad, never assume it will get to you by the earliest date either. It may. Just about all my items arrive within the specified period. But look at that last date and realise it may even run a few days over. If that is cutting it too fine, it is probably best to move onto another seller.

    @chama-598,

     

    As soon as the option is available to you, open a refund request if the item hasn’t arrived by the latest EDD (Estimated Delivery Date), as has already been mentioned.

     

    Remember to follow through with escalating the case (asking eBay to step in) if the seller doesn’t refund you within 3 business days – that’s when the option first appears (to escalate) in the dispute. Ask here if you aren’t sure of anything, but please do read the Money Back Guarantee help page to which Casey linked in the very first reply on this thread.

     

     

     

     

     

    @mdgli,

    ❝At least two cheeks....

    Same attitude - Hiding behind pseudo names, suspicion of everyone and everything and aggressiveness.

    (S)he answers post that refers to you and vice versa .❞

     

    No; their posting styles are different and I have no hesitation in asserting they’re different people.

     

    1. “Hiding behind pseudo names” – we all use pseudonyms (usernames) online. Or am I to assume your legal name is mdgli? Of course not. This is not an infraction whether it’s true or untrue.
    2. Perhaps you mean that this is one person using more than one username. eBay allows the use of more than one account for each person, hence the use of more than one username. Again, not an infraction whether it’s true or not. (For the record, as I’ve said, I don’t consider it plausible that these two usernames are the same person.)
    3. Perhaps, though, you mean that this is one person using more than one username for the express purpose of bolstering each other’s posts on the boards here (in effect, being sock puppets). Again, I’ve already indicated in my previous point that I don’t believe that. Even a cursory knowledge of their posting styles makes it clear that they are different people. Not only that, but they don’t behave like sock puppets. (There are some posters who have used a sock puppet to bolster their own posts over the years; one such newish poster unfortunately did so relatively recently with unfortunate and very obvious results. But these two posters? No.)
    4. “Suspicion of everyone and everything and aggression” – I don’t see this. They point out similar warnings and precautions and remedies… each in their own way. Most of us on the boards here give advice based on the same knowledge of how to use eBay processes to the best advantage… and it doesn’t mean we are a hive mind. It means we’ve seen the same situations posted over and over again on the boards… many occasions where people haven’t acted soon enough to be protected by the MBG, etc., and it is frustrating because when it’s too late, how can we help?
    5. “Answers post that refers to you and vice versa” – well, yes, and…? This is a forum, with threads/posts publicly visible. It’s not a dialogue between two people; anyone on the boards can weigh in, and the responders won’t feel they’re jumping into a private conversation. It may be different if one person posts “[name], could you tell me [specific something or other]?” … but a reply might be something like “I’m not [name] but I can say that [advice related to the question].” … And if the post is more of a general comment in a disagreement or exchange of views, don’t be surprised by different people jumping in.

    In short… are you relatively inexperienced in using online forums? Can I suggest you try to put preconceptions behind you and just interact with the posters here in good faith? We’re not your enemy, believe me.

    You are obviously a new buyer on eBay and as such it will take some time to learn how things work on here. 1. you have ordered from a Chinese Seller with a lot of bad feedback.  2.  You have not realized that items from China can take months to arrive and it is out of the hands of the Seller once they have sent it. 3. The estimated date (put up by eBay) is "estimated" in other words "a guess"  4. Items may not arrive on time because of the massive number of items in the post at this time of year. It is unrealistic to expect items to arrive on the exact day they are supposed to, especially near Xmas.  I have had a few that have been "on board for delivery" and still did not arrive that day.  My latest one "on board for delivery" did not arrive until a week later. (I really wondered if the delivery driver just decided to take a week off)  Last year I had multiple small items (about 7) bought from China, bought in October and November,  all from different Sellers, and they did not arrive until May of this year. They were tracked as being in Australia at a sorting centre  after being sent, and there they sat, probably under the mountain of other small parcels for about 6 months. My advice, only buy things from Australia after October if you want it for Xmas.  It just takes time and experience to learn all this, good luck and Merry Xmas.

    And no matter who the seller is, this is eBay, not TEMU so please don't compare.

     

    Do you have a tracking number ?

    The estimated delivery date is just that

     

    Was the 20th the first date or the last date?

     

    A guess inserted by eBay

     

    If you really need something, /something is important/need it to arrive at all, then best to avoid buying from dodgy sellers registered in China

     

    All you can do is either hope it arrives 'shortly after' the guess date is open and follow through with an item not received dispute 

     

     

    And don't let the seller trick you with excuses or promises or tricks

    Is it from the seller in China you've left negative  feedback  ?

     

    If you don't receive your item,  make a claim through eBay's Money Back Guarantee

    Sure, they'll open a claim and have to wait 10 days. will take them 1/1/2025. If the seller asks for extension to resolve the issue on the 29/01 he'll get extension to the 8th. Then, he may have a refund under MBG.

    That's certainly not the way it worked for me on my last 2 claims under the MBG.

     

    The last one eBay refunded me within half an hour of opening the dispute.

     

    And the one before that eBay waited 3 days for the seller to respond and when they didn't eBay refunded almost immediately.

    As already mentioned , The Money Back Guarantee  usually works very well , with no problems.

     

    You've been unlucky and I,  along with others ,  have supported you.

     

    But  it really isn't fair  to post

     

    "Sure, they'll open a claim and have to wait 10 days. will take them 1/1/2025. If the seller asks for extension to resolve the issue on the 29/01 he'll get extension to the 8th. Then, he may have a refund under MBG"

     

    as that's just not true in most  cases.

    "Smart" sellers do respond. And every time they respond they get extension. That what happen on my 2last 2 claims. One took 35 days after ETA for refund and one is still open 25 days after ETA.

    I do believe sometimes people might face a wait.

    I remember making my one and only ebay claim, maybe a couple of years back, for item not as described. The seller was given 10 days to respond. I don't why that long. 

    They ignored the entire thing (just as they had ignored my messages) until that very last date, when they issued a return label. They later had my neg feedback removed, not sure on what basis.

    So the reality is it can take a good 3 weeks or more to get your money back as it is only refunded once the seller gets the item back.

    --------------------------

     

     

    Chama- Did you mean in your post that you still do not have your item, as of 21 Dec? If this is what you meant, your best bet is still to open an ebay claim. There may be a bit of a wait but the sooner you open it, the sooner you are likely to get a refund.

    This appears to be your earliest venture into this thread.

     

    You have a common paradigm. If you don't like the answer you attack the messenger. That attitude pretty much died in the Middle Ages.

     

    The trick is to READ what's posted and take the facts into account when resolving your issues.

     

    If you choose not to do so that is your issue, and certainly not down to any of us other members.

    It seems like most of the "messengers" here are sellers with some sort of complex  about buyers.

    They write 1000s of posts "proving" all buyers are wrong, too demanding, unreasonable with attitude from the Middle Ages.

    Than pet each other on the back with "Helpful"s.

     

    I look at your stats and am very impressed mate.

    Keep'em coming. 🤘

    What I can't understand is why you're attacking the very people who agree with  you regarding your problems with the MBG.

     

    You SHOULD have been refunded and I told you on your own thread to PUSH eBay.

     

    The OP on the other thread has been going through an even worse problem with their MBG  claim and I wrote:

     

    "I'm sad and ANGRY  this has happened to you.

    That a site which used to have  great Customer Service  and Trust and Safety teams, have stooped this low"

     

    This doesn't usually happen with Money Back Guarantee claims and we're all wondering why the sudden change.

     

    As far as "agressiveness" goes, I do get angry when I see scammers are involved or if  someone isn't being

     

    treated fairly by eBay  but apart from that, I really don't think anyone on the boards would say I was usually agressive.
