How do I know when an item has been received?

Other than by directly contacting the buyer and asking, how do I know when an item I have sent has been received? Similarly, is there a way I can as a buyer mark an item as received so the seller knows? I have been searching all over for this info for several days and am none the wiser.



I'm sorry if this sounds idiotic - I'm usually quite intelligent 🙂 but this has me stumped.

totally agreed.






If the buyer is not happy, there is a fair chance you will hear from them. If not, then assume they're happy. An email from them fits your requirements, but you said you wanted feedback.



I remember trying to get those magic feedback levels. Buy some C&S satchels if you need that 10.



I run about 75% feedback, which means 25% don't bother, even though eBay send them a reminder after about a month.

I just find it odd, that if the buyer is happy, they don't choose to say so by leaving feedback (assume neutral or positive).

Because they have their item/s and that is what they are concerned about. Not coloured dots.

I used to feel that way as a seller when I first started out. But I think what some sellers may be forgetting is that a lot of buyer's may not have the access to a PC that a seller would have. Sellers need 24/7 access, but a buyer (like my daughter) who has a whale of a time buying things on line when she comes up to visit me,(she has no i/n at home) then off she goes home and never thinks of buying on line again till she's back on my pc!! The FB will come, and let's hope it is all good. 🙂

don't take life too seriously.......it's not permanent

Believe it or not a lot of members don't know what feedback is, a lot don't give a stuff about feedback and a lot have the 'I'm not leaving any till you do' mentality so none gets left at all.



I have absolutely nnto know if a buyer is happy, I want t o know if they are not and prefer that they contact me about it but as it happens so rarely I am not about to sit around wondering about it.

I'm having this very same problem.  The item I bought has already arrived and I'm very happy with it and want to leave a positive feedback for the seller. However, in my Purchase History, it shows the item is still in transit.  There is no option anywhere that I can find where I can indicate that I've already received the item. As the transaction is not 'complete' I'm also unable to leave any feedback.  Any solution?
