Non receipt of eBay item

Eric72 · #1 07-29-2021, 06:29 PM

Last time I checked, eBay Buyer Protection doesn't cover porch piracy. So long as tracking shows the item delivered, the seller is covered.

This assumes postage was purchased through eBay. I don't use Pirate Ship (there's an ironic joke in there somewhere) or similar services.

Over $650 USD value, you have to get signature.

Using Pirate Ship shouldn't matter.

I didn�t know, so I didn�t want to give bad advice. Sometimes, eBay can make things difficult for sellers who don�t keep everything in-house. Managed payments, for example.

Thanks for all of your input. Wasn�t sure if tracking backed me. I will find out when he makes a claim

if a inr is opened, even though ebay already has the info, make sure to add the tracking number to the claim.

The packaged was marked delivered with a time stamp. The buyer has been in contact with the P.O. but has had no success. The carrier insists that he delivered the package. (probably to wrong house). I called ebay. They stated that as long as I have have a tracking number I shouldnt worry about it. We will see. The buyer has put in a claim for refund. I will know later this week.

The USPS has the ability to see where the scan was made and locate the package. Several packages I have sent over the years have wound up mis-delivered. The USPS was able to determine where the delivery scan was made, go out and retrieve the package and then deliver to the correct location.

And yes, you shouldn't worry about this package because as a seller you have met your obligation for delivery. Likely, your buyer will receive a "courtesy" refund from ebay.

I recently had a package that was "out for delivery" but did not show up and was marked delivered later that night. The buyer was covered since it was scanned delivered and it fell on me to figure out what happened.

Check the tracking to see what time it was scanned delivered to see if it falls within your carriers usual delivery time in your area. My package was scanned at 6:30 pm as "delivered to locker" and my carrier (new trainee) was off work by then. A few questions at the post office revealed a route supervisor was checking the computer for packages that were "out for delivery" but not scanned and was marking them as delivered. The postmaster had a heated discussion with the supervisor and promised it wouldn't happen again. It was only a $20 item so I took the hit and passed on a complaint to Postal Inspectors.

One piece of advice. If you�re calling the Post Office for the ZIP Code where it was delivered, ask for the Postmaster.
