    Top Rated Seller "Tracking" status
                     

    How do I prevent losing TRS status because of late or non-existent "Tracking" on my sales? I always add tracking except when do a local pickup. There is no tracking when the buyer and seller agree to do a local pickup. So, how do I avoid getting dinged?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Curt

    @sandiego_livin 

    Top Rated Seller status is based on sales volume. Top Rated Plus involves (among other things) shipping in one day or less. Here is information on Local Pickups

    https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/posting-items/setting-postage-options/local-pickup?id=4181

     

    EBay will send the Buyer a code for you to enter to prove the Buyer picked up the order.  Entering that code takes the place of "tracking".

    Thank you for this help. I guess I'll dig a little deeper to find out how to get the code. I don't typically offer local pickup so the listing doesn't show it. I'm not adverse to meeting a buyer in a public place and have done so only on a few occasions. Do you have any specific insight on how to get the code and where to enter it so that this tracking 'ding' goes away?

     

    Thanks so much for the quick reply. I've book marked the article you sent so I can refer back to it later.

     

    Best, Curt

    Proof of pickup

    Proof of pickup is required to protect you against item not received cases. 

    For proof of pickup you can:

    • use the eBay app to scan the QR code the buyer received through email
    • use the eBay app to manually enter the 6-digit code the buyer received through email

    To scan the QR code:

    1. Go to Selling on the eBay app.
    2. Go to the Sold tab.
    3. Select the Arrange Pickup banner.
    4. Tap the Scan to confirm pickup button.

    If the buyer doesn't have the QR code available, ask them for the 6-digit code they received through email and manually enter it in the app.

    Tip
    When you scan or manually enter these codes, the item will immediately be marked as delivered but you'll still need to mark the item as paid if you collect cash at the time of delivery.

    If you don't want to use the app, ask the buyer to sign a copy of the eBay order form at the time of pickup.
