    Parcel delays/dropshipping

    I'm seriously going to leave EBAY after over a decade because of sellers incompetency. Waiting for parts for a month when the parts are only 2 days driving time away from me is unacceptable. It's costing me money to stay loyal to incompetency! Is anyone else having this problem? I'm suspicious they have dropshippers as sellers sourcing cheap Chinese products which cause unacceptable delays.

    I to am over sellers using certain couriers. I am now requesting from sellers who they send through. I will pay for a courier such as Australia Post to deliver my parcels rather than some companies such as PF Logistics which use multiple companies to transfer from Sydney to Central Coast. This is just an example. At least if I buy from other Chinese companies they are at times quicker and actually have tracking systems that work.

    "I'm suspicious they have dropshippers as sellers "

     

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'they'

     

    The site is FULL of dropshippers, individual sellers who sell their items on this site.

     

    Some of your sellers have very bad feedback , so always best to check that first, to avoid problems.

     

    Looking at your feedback left for others. all you have to do is open an 'item not as described' claim through eBay's money Back Guarantee if you receive the wrong item ...and you'll receive a full refund

     

    https://pages.ebay.com.au/ebay-money-back-guarantee/

     

    Never let a seller play games with you.

    So long, there is really no need to tell other members you are leaving

     

     

    The estimated delivery date is shown before you buy

     

    Any buyer who chooses to buy from dodgy, drop shipping sellers will have issues 

     

    It will only cost you money if you fail to open an item not received dispute if the item does not arrive by the latest estimated delivery date 

     

     

    It is very obvious if they are drop shipping by

     

    Their feedback

     

    Photos lifted from other websites

     

    Claims to be in Australia but estimated delivery dates are a long time off

     

     

    All easily avoidable

     

    And as you say, you have been here over a decade so you should know the basics by now

     

     

     

    The seller you left the comment only took 3 weeks' for example has utterly horrid feedback yet you bought from them anyway

     

     

    You can't choose to support dodgy sellers and then complain
