Waiting for shipping

michellebartley — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 03:00:48 GMT

Paid for an item last Monday to a seller I have bought from previously. They have 1,000's of items in stock. Am still waiting for it to be shipped. I emailed them about it and was told we are checking our inventory for available stock. Just a long long time to wait and rather annoying. You would think being a big seller they would have item shipped out quick. Seller is in UK.

Open a dispute for item not received if the system allows and leave feedback to advise other after 1 week item still was not posted.

Michelle, we went through this last time this happened. Sometimes sellers, especially large sellers either forget or don't mark an item as posted, for whatever the reason. I forgot with one a few weeks ago and remembered when the Aust Post app alerted me that the item was with the driver for delivery that day. I marked it as posted and she had it an hour later.

Being a busy time of year, it's possible the seller is swamped with orders and may not have got around to marking them as posted. It doesn't mean they haven't posted. If it hasn't arrived a week or 2 after the last estimate date, send them a message to find out what's going on. If they give you the run around, only then open a dispute. You know how to do that.

The relevant point is "I have bought from previously"

Why would your consider this transaction to be an issue?

Why do you come here asking the same questions over and over again?

Why don't you -

a) READ and apply the answers you have been previously given, or

b) Try managing your life without input from the eBay boards, or

c) Ask a question, even.

You are, as usual, venting. Or in want of some attention. I'm sure one of your 'pets' would be happy to nibble your toes (off) if you need attention that much.

You know the ropes of international buyiong better than any of us mere mortals who believe quarantine laws apply.

Well how about stopping letting your steam off in my direction and let someone who shops on Ebay the right to ask any question or query or problem that they like. Whether trivial or otherwise. My type of question may be very helpful to somebody out there. No and I dont need my pets to bite toes thanks. I'd love to bite your head off given half a chance.

I tend to find the opposite is true.

Even though larger businesses have staff to manage and perform specific tasks, and systems in place to streamline a lot of work, not everything can be done in an instant....unless the business hires people to work 24/7 and penalises them for doing perfectly natural things like taking a loo break, resulting in the kind of workplace and staff turnover that somewhat resembles an automated life-sucking machine.

Over the holiday season, many sellers I buy from increase their order processing time, because the workload is significantly higher.

Sometimes, things just take time.

I buy on eBay, which makes me a buyer. I also believe in quarantine laws.

I also recall you asking this 'question' about a month ago.

Why not just go back to it and look at the answers you got then? If indeed you are after answers.

No this is different and No its not pet food. You just assume these things. And heck it's still not been shipped. Far out.

Michelle, how do you know it has not been shipped yet? Did the seller say so?

How many times have you been told that not all seller even mark their items as posted? Just wait patiently (if that is possible) and see if the item arrives..

Trouble is you've asked the same type of question previously.

Multiple times in fact.

Have you learnt nothing?

michellebartley,

as long as you keep getting replies to these inane questions of yours - you'll keep asking them.

If no one replied any more - you'd stop - right?

Not to mention that effect of your messages could be fatal for some members - like the one you treathened to smash his/hers head in!

The seller has told me they are waiting for the supplier to send the item concerned and that will take 2 days and I have option of cancelling or waiting so am waiting, I may as well. The item was a bulk deal and was very good price.

No a similar question not identical look carefully before adding comment.

No I meant biting head off like a bats head.

You have just answered your own question. Brilliant problem solved 😃

*tippy*toes* — Tue, 06 Dec 2016 11:26:50 GMT

Why would you want to bite a bats head off? That's sick and wrong on so many levels. Are you referring to the bag next door who swooped in like a bat and stole your parcel (that actually arrived a few days later.)?

As for you not asking this before, I present to you exhibit A: http://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Buying/Is-item-shipped-or-not/m-p/2012553
