MentorSep 11, 2026 at 2:11 AMWhen a buyer files an Item Not Received case, I respond within the 3 days allowed with the tracking number showing Delivered. ebay finds in my favor. If the tracking does not show Delivered, I ask for the buyer to be patient and wait a bit longer. Eventually I will refund the buyer if the tracking never shows Delivered, and then I will file an insurance claim for a lost package.
