    Ebay shipping info and other glitches

    I'm generating this because I've seen such horrible communication from Ebay among other issues.

    1- I'm receiving my product then getting days later ebay notices, "your item has shipped", "your item is on its way",

    2-I also don't see ebay sellers responding to text messages which doesn't seem to be normal, most or some are pretty good about communicating, now I don't get ANY responses,  Also 90% of my orders show "No 3-3- 3- tracking "seems like another new phenom occurring, my purchases no longer have tracking # at least on the front end, cant say what the sellers are seeing

    imho I dont think its the sellers, or the shippers, its the poorly written codes that don't get back checked. Its hurting the entire community,  idk but ebay is really turning into garbage

    @patriot4ever818 ,

     

    In your purchase history if you do not see a tracking number it is because one was not added to the listing soon after being sold. 

    Therefore there would not be any "your item has shipped" messages. unless a seller added one later.

      If you mean that you do receive a tracking number, but it does not up date beyond label created. it is probably because you have been buying from China based sellers. They may give a U.S. location but may be shipping from China if the U.S. warehouse is out of the item. 

    When that happens you get a U.S. shipping service's tracking number, but it does not update until the item arrives in the U.S. clears customs and is handed off to the domestic shipper. 

     

    From your profile I see that you have purchased from several China based sellers recently and they are mostly very high volume ones. Higher volume sellers, especially the chinese ones rarely respond to messages or are slow to do so. 

    several of the ones you've bought from recently have unacceptable, by most experienced members standards, feedback percentages. 97.9% and 96.4% are well below the 98.6% level many use to avoid issues.  You should never go by a feedback percentage alone, no matter what a seller's percentage is. Always check one's profile before buying from them.

    Am responding to just one of your points, the one about sellers not responding to test messages.  No doubt you know that there's no eBay requirement that a seller reply to messages.  Some may be just too busy, either with their eBay business or their everyday life.
