How Do I View the Estimated Delivery Date the Buyer Sees when Ordering

clarry100 — Fri, 25 Dec 2015 23:02:58 GMT

Anyone have an idea where I can see this? I'm sure it's me just can't see for looking!!!

Of course, when I look at the listing it gives me the estimate for my own postcode.

I don't know, but here is a link to one of your items.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Baby-Girl-Headband-Skinny-Elastic-Stretchy-Large-Flower-Hair-Band-White-Pink-New-/171840965793?var=&hash=item2802850ca1:m:m0zqyH-l2oKKQHX3nkjaPbw

I live in a suburb of Melbourne and delivery is shown as being between Thursday 7 Jan and Monday 11 Jan, if that is any help.

I think each day that passes, that delivery date changes up by a day in line. But if I were to buy today, it would stay at 7-11th as expected date.

Thanks Springy.

That looks in line with my handling time changes. We are in Caboolture (4510) just to the north of Brisbane.

I've upped our handling time to 5-days over the holiday period to compensate for the overly optimistic ebay estimates.

It's showing as 6-13th for me in central NSW. Interesting that the last date is actually longer than sending to Vic. Could it be that the Vic postcode is Melbourne, hence showing a shorter delivery time?

If you're wondering for other areas, go into the postage section of the listing and change the post code to other states. You could try both capital city post coded and regional. Just don't forget to change it back!

If the item has already sold, you can check the dates in the order details. They will remain unless the item has tracking. Once tracking shows as delivered, the dates disappear (I know most of your stuff goes without tracking).

Sorry Tippy... yeah these are for my sold items already on my awaiting postage list I'm trying to find the estimated delivery dates for.

Where can I find this "view order details" choice you speak of?

I can see "View Sales Record" under the little dropdown but there is no estimated delivery date in there. Every other date but not that.

I'm just curious to know if the adjustments have been made by ebay by me extending my handling times out from 0 to 5 days

I get there from my My eBay selling page. Not sure if it shows in SMP because I've never used it.

I'm pretty sure when I extended my handling time it extended the delivery time.

I've got one sold yesterday showing 31Dec-8Jan to Perth.

Which, with a 2 day handling time, is their usual 1-6 business days BS. Except that 31 Dec is NOT an AP business day, so 0-5 days. To PERTH from Canberra.

Hi Clarry ... I always check mine this way. I have a hotmail address where I receive all items sold emails from ebay.

If you click on that email, you will see a link to click on .... " Print a postage label "

Once you open that, it will show different info, including the estimted delivery date that the buyers sees.

Hope this helps.

Sold > Other actions (on dropdown menu under item) > View order details

I've had a lot that don't show any date at all, especially if the buyer is in a remote area. For the most part I don't worry about ebay's estimated delivery dates but just post ASAP. There's no point in worrying myself sick about something I have no control over.

Once delivered this shows delivered date and estimate disapears, so you cant compare back

Not sure if this is helpful but as I understand the OP's question.

Go to the listing and the "postage and payments" tab.

Put in their postcode and the delivery time estimates for their location appear.

True, but OP was asking how to see it for items that hadn't been posted yet and that's what I was specifically answering. If they're tracked items they can write down the estimated delivery date for later comparison. If they're not tracked they'll never show a delivery date so the estimate will stay there, and clarry mainly sends untracked letters. Not that they'll be able to compare back if they never have a delivery date but in some cases they'll get feedback as soon as they're delivered and they can use that to get some idea.

I don't have Sold > Other Actions > View Order details.

You mean the little drop-down arrow to the left of the sold record? The one that used to be on the right.

Can only see > View Sales Record (plus some other choices).

But the Sales Record does not have Estimated Delivery Date as a data field.

I'm using Selling Manage Pro so not sure if/not that may make a difference???

So I'm still at a loss where to view this info that the buyer sees.

Yep I checked in that same email message and followed the links you suggested and the Estimated Delivery Date does show in there.

But there must be an easier place to see it.

I have a Postage and Payments section/Tab in the listing. But no Returns and Payments.

But in there it just shows me the estimates for my own postcode not for that of the buyer.

Tried that and the dates are for my own postcode.

When I put in the buyer's postcode and click on "Get Rates" the dates don't change. ie they are still estimates for my own postcode

If you go into your watch list, is there a menu on the left (not a drop down menu, rows of links)? If there is, click on selling. That *should* take you to your My EBay selling page (unless it defaults to SMP). I access it from that page. The sold items should be under the active listings on that page.
