Seller said she uploaded a fake tracking number.

[huatao1975]

Hello, I have purchased last week a tablet from apparently a Chinese brand but the seller appears to be their only Australian eBay store.

Yesterday, seller said this item will take another week to get here, and she would upload a fake tracking number for the time being. I understand this is what usually happens when the actual stock is located in China and told her it's fine I can wait. I thought the tracking number would be one of those "holding" tracking numbers which will remain idle for a few weeks until it reaches here then they send it to the post office / courier.

Today I found the tracking number shows movement in the postal system. Obviously that's not my item.

Their feedback are all positive for this year, although often complained about slow postage.

I don't usually purchase items located overseas, this one is an exception. Is it their standard practice to upload fake tracking numbers or should I be concerned?

Thank you.

Yep - and few would bother.

You may be right that they wont bother,  but the fact remains that you can.

The fact is - YOU - can't.

Only by request.

Not sure what there says you cant,  it clearly says you can, and I don't even need to shout

One cannot change nor edit feedback once left - only by request.

The YOU was a general YOU. 

DONE.

❝Once you've left Feedback, you won't be able to edit or delete it, unless you send the seller a Feedback revision request.❞ (So… it may be a matter of semantics, but the buyer him/herself can’t change the feedback. Minor point, I suppose.)

It’s also worth noting that positive feedback can’t be revised at all. ❝Once you've submitted positive Feedback for a seller, you can't change it to neutral or negative Feedback.❞

[domino-710]

LOL - where's the semantics - it is explicit.

Yes they can,  read this, ok its not edit it revise  Catwomans original comment which domino said was not possible ''My advice give them a bad rating before they cancel, then at least you can change your rating if they fulfill their promise to you.""

Select Accept request in the email and we'll guide you through the process of changing your rating and comment. When you revise or remove Feedback, your original comments will no longer be visible on eBay

I leave it there I'm out of this discusion, obviously it has come down to semantics.   I wont mention that I have changed a rating from neg to positive, and even changed the comments,  using this process.  But hey thats life

[domino-710]

By the way - it's advice - not advise. LOL

This is a cut and paste from a forum prediction I made 18 months ago 

" All I can say is when the tumbleweeds are rolling down the deserted forum streets, and the rats are fighting over a few scraps in the dark corners it wont take Einstein to work out what went so wrong. "

Love it when I absolutely nail it ...........  😄 ................Bye till next time I,m passing through.
