Tracking requirements: (ebay.com)

You've uploaded valid shipment tracking to My eBay within your promised handling time for at least 90% of transactions with US buyers in the last 3 months.

1 business day handling time: If a buyer pays on Tuesday, you need to upload tracking by 11:59:59 pm Pacific Time on Wednesday.

Same business day handling time:
If you offer same business day handling, you also have 1 business day to upload valid tracking information. For example, if a buyer pays on Tuesday at 10:00 am Pacific Time, you need to upload tracking by 11:59:59 pm Pacific Time on Wednesday. The tracking number must have at least one carrier scan recorded within your promised handling time.

I would rather a buyer had the ability to cancel their purchase in the first hour if thry change their mind rsther thasn have them send begging emails asking me to cancel because their car had been wrecked on the way to the vets to pick up their badly injured pet who is destraught bevcause their grasnny has just passed away or worse still just ignore the whole thing for 8 days unti the dispute is closed.

I've been off in U.S reading.It's in a thread on the Seller Board.Title starts "Starting October buyers cancel..." there is a link in there to the U.S upated release which i didn't read.Way too tired now.

 

I also enjoyed the "Do you think eBay is dying ?" thread.Someone answered that it isn't dying,it's committing suicide.

Yes, buyers can request to cancel their purchase within an hour, but that has nothing to do with sellers uploading tracking numbers.

And I assume this "cancel within the hour" would be for BIN'S only?

 

Do they mention that at all?

 

(Page Not Found for that link now Ghost)

It's for auctions and BINS

Thanks, link works.

It doesn't specify, so I assume you are correct.

Wow! The ability to cancel an auction? Really? The buyer (winner) outbid other folk and yet still has the option to cancel? That is all sorts of wrong. The buyer should be "defected" and treated as an NPB in those cases. Hmmm.

The buyer can request their own cancellations, if within an hour of purchase and if the seller hasn't marked it a shipped, but the seller still has to approve it.

After reading a little more about this, some very valid concerns have been raised - I don't think this should apply to auctions, there needs to at least be some actions that are taken seriously and with due consideration, and I also think if a buyer requests a cancellation (and is granted), it should void the opportunity to leave feedback.
