eBay

Hey guys, Hoping someone can help, or advise me on the best way to go about this.   I bought an item overseas (some blueberry seeds), and paid on the 1st of November and have an estimated delivery of November 15 - November 27.   The item is also tracked by UPS (I think) weird thing is there is THREE tracking numbers provided for only one item, and only one of those tracking numbers has shipping details attached. The last update was on the 5th of November stating: Processing at US Shipping Center, Nov-05-12, 23:34 PM, Erlanger   And that is the last I heard. I've tried putting the number into the UPS website (and a few others as well) but am getting nothing at all.   Have contacted the seller, who is speaking with me, but unfortunately he/she is seeing the same that I am, so can't provide me with any answers.     I don't want to open a dispute just yet, as I beleive the seller has posted them and is genuine, but I don't want to just sit on my hands and wait.   Does anyone have a pro-tip as to where I might look, or if they have had this problem before?   Really apprciate any help, I've gone through a few pages but could not find any questions directly relating to mine 😞 ...

Hi Ebayers, I have a question about an item I am looking at purchasing from overseas. The item is heavy as there are many parts to it and the vendor said he would need to send it in 2 parcels by ground postage which could take 6 to 8 weeks to get here.He also said that there is no tracking number or insurance  that he knows of. The amount for the item including postage is about $1000. Would I be able to make a claim through PayPal if item not received,damage etc or 1 parcel gets lost. The vendor has been around since 2005 has 100% positive feedback for 78 items. I am not sure whether to go ahead with the purchase any advice would very much appreciated.  Cheers, Rodney. ...

Hi all. some of you might remember my original post, I had up for sale a wembley ware ashtray but forgot to put the postage cost in so i did a revision and added postage costs, this was done before there were any bids and it was there for everybody to see, anyway a buyer bid and won the item on the 5/10 and paid for the item only on the 9/10 so i sent ebay message asking could they please please pay postage cost and i would post it as soon as. never got a reply so after a few days i messaged and emailed them but still no reply, so i sent them a invoice through paypay for the postage costs, still no reply so i got their p.n and tried to ring but i think that it was a fax, so i left it for a while and had to go to sydney when i got back still nothing, i was reluctant to open up a dispute as she has they have got 100% feedback and i was giving her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was on holidays, but i think it has gone on long enough, so what do i do now. thanks Jackie ...

Hi, thanks to a helpful ebayer I discovered on the weekend that tracked satchels are not covered under the Paypal Protection Policy.     Now I'm looking for an alternative to posting registered mail because it's so expensive for the buyer.     Can someone tell me if Click and Send items are covered by Paypal if linked with the Ebay account and is that just because the address is entered into their database?  But what's to stop the seller from still posting elsewhere?  Just wanting to know what all the experienced sellers are using.   Thanks ...

I previously purchased from the same seller and 6 items had a post rate of $8.97, now they want $65 for 15 items of similar weight, ribbon. I understand that postage costs but, come on I could send a parcel to Antarctica and it would not cost as much! Sigh.   ... View more

I have been sending my parcels with the same Australia Post agency for over 3 1/2 years. I package parcels so that they are irregular in shape, so postage is at a lesser charge for buyers. This Australia Post Agency is now charging me cubic charges on all of my parcels, regardless of their shape, which is so expensive, that I fear I will have to stop selling on eBay, as postage charges will be too dear for people to buy from me. The owners of the Australia Post Agency seem to be out-of-sorts with me personally, and after 3 1/2 years of sending irregular shaped parcels with them, I feel this is so unjust.  I am able to travel to other Post Offices, and they will accept my irregular parcels.  What should I do?  N.B.  The previous owner of this Australia Post Agency showed me how to package items so that they were irregular shaped to help me with postage charges!!!  ...

I thought that I had mastered the click and send postal system but I have just tried to list 2 books as one listing and when I entered the postage charge of $10.55 I got a message to say that I can't charge more than $8.30. Has this suddenly altered?   Thank you for any replies ... View more

Hi All I purchased from a seller on 24/08, paid immediately and sent a msg through ebay to let the seller know. There was no contact from the seller and the payment hadn't been marked as received so I sent another msg (again through ebay) asked the seller if payment had been received on 29/08. Seller answered, letting me know that they had received the payment and due to some private family problems (full explanation was given) was unable to post until 31/08. A few msg's were exchanged and ended with me wishing the seller luck with their situation and that I would keep an eye out, thanked them very much for letting me know. The 31st came and went, as of today 05/09 the item is still yet to be marked as posted. I sent a quick msg yesterday, just to follow up and see if all had gone well and have had no reply as yet. I know everyone has lives outside of ebay and most don't access their accounts daily (myself included) and I am taking this into account and given the situation the seller has explained, I feel hesitant to push but I don't really know how long I should leave things. The seller has also received f/b since so has posted out or bought and paid for items at some stage since the 24th. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ... View more

s it through an abundance of sales, i.e. they have so many items coming into the country at the same time? Do they have deals with postage/delivery companies? Or are the items profit-sacrifices, that act as 'marketing lures', attracting buyers to their other stock?   I just don't get it. I could post a DVD to my neighbour (literally) and it will cost me $6.60, if sent in a protective bubble-wrap slip - NO REGISTERED POST, EITHER! The option below that is $1.20 for just a envelope and a greater risk of damage whilst in transit (but it is under the required 20mm thickness).   Does anyone have any economical tips for the posting of items (whilst not compromising service, obviously). Is a courier service or Australia Post cheaper? Is one cheaper than the other, depending on the item, or depending on the frequency of custom?     I'd love to hear some advice. Thanks  🙂   ...
