Yes, I've sold 1 mere item and the buyer can't even rely on ebay to promptly notify them upon delivery. This is crucial, because without this timely ebay notification, the package may be sitting in plain site which increases the chance of theft! This would be ebay's fault, as you can't expect a buyer to constantly check for package delivery. The lack of delivery update has nothing to do with the carrier, it's all on ebay. If one inputs the tracking on the USPS site it shows delivered, while ebay fails to do so. I received a text delivery confirmation from USPS immediately at the time of delivery. In the meantime, zero ebay notification. Ebay needs to get their act together!

I just checked and you are correct. Mine are USPS.....and they look like nothing is getting delivered today or tomorrow. I wouldn't say slow....more like no movement in my packages through tracking.

From a delivery staus persepctive, everything appears normal in ebay. Please remember that ebay's uploads depend on when they receive the tracking updates from the respective carriers.
Hang tight!

I haven't really noticed any slowdowns in the USPS updates. Could be it's the beginning of the holiday rush and slowdown of the packages? I do have one package that has been bouncing around Missouri since November 6th. I don't know who is more frustrated - me or the customer.

I checked USPS site and eBay tracking site....everything does not appear normal. Tracking has been delayed if a buyer wants to see if something is being delivered today on eBay site.
My tracking inputs were on 11/10/2023 and I have another priority being delivered today per USPS but it shows no movement other than at the airport sitting.

The USPS track and confirm has the updated delivery for my shipments. Your right though Ebay tracking is not updating. Ebay seems to be behind at least 1 day on their tracking.

I think what the OP is referring to -- @rovemele-zmdmfp correct me if I'm wrong -- is that eBay is slow on detecting updates to the package status that the carrier is showing on their own website. I've noticed it over the past week or so.
I was checking some recent packages that I had dropped at the Self-Serve Kiosk when the front desk was closed. The SSK will give you a provisional Acceptance scan (which eBay does recognize), but I was looking to see when the actual in-network scan would be done.
A couple of days went by without the eBay tracking updating, but when I went to USPS.com, I found that a couple more scans had occurred in the tracking (an in-network Acceptance followed by an In Transit status after it left the PO) that eBay was still not showing. Refreshing the page did not force eBay to ping USPS for a tracking update.
I think it finally updated overnight, and that is definitely slower than usual. Several other items showed the same lag of updates. Any buyer who doesn't think to check the USPS website itself would be looking at an out-of-date tracking status.
I've seen similar pokiness in showing a Delivered status long after the USPS themselves showed it as Delivered. No complaints on that so far, presumably because buyers who have received their packages are not likely to go checking the tracking again.

Mine too, looks like 1 of my packages is still hanging out in Vegas, come on, I'm just up the road!!!!
11-15-2023 03:34 PM
Yes I have noticed that as well, I always keep a close eye on my delivery status, & ebay has been late with updates!
11-15-2023 03:58 PM
correct it ebay not post office there satus is on point they need to fix that a.s.p
11-15-2023 04:01 PM
very true not a good think lots of sellers and buyers depend on that but for now we must go make sure satus is correct
11-15-2023 04:05 PM
im hanging tight and thought it was not deliver a day later finaly got a good update 24 hr to hang tight is not good
11-16-2023 09:31 AM
That's what I'm referring to. If the USPS is slow in updating the system then ebay will be as well. I don't see a lag in my ebay updates, nor in the deliveries to customers.
