Ebay...the lies you tell
The item in question was shipped well with in the stated time on my end, however....
Today is also the 6th.
"Shipped
The carrier confirmed receipt of the package on Mar 3.
Estimated delivery date shown to buyer: Mar 3, 2026 - Mar 9, 2026"
Message from buyer: I have not got it yet

Not sure what's worse- that customer or you writing this backwards.
Start with what the buyer said so we don't have to wonder what the heck you are talking about the entire time reading this till the end.
Like a bad Netflix show
(not to mention, but I will anyway- what the HECK does that Title have to do with ANY of this??)

OP6 months agoI am with you on the bad netflix...anyhow lol, I ship out an order with 5 day handling pad---just in case it hits the fans...So I ship it, usually the same or next day, Ebay shows the buyer a fictious date...It shows for example I sent it on the 6th...ebay shows the buyer to expect it between the 6th and what ever....and which date do you think the buyer is going to go by?
Maybe an Disney Hulu movie?
P/S I do not and never will offer overnight shipping.

·6 months agoSend the doofus a pointer to the carrier's website along with his tracking number.
I noticed last night that eBay has a blurb on their own tracking popup to say that they're experiencing delays in updating their tracking, and thus users should check the carrier's website instead.

·6 months agoSounds like a 'drama buyer' who can't wait for their item.
I wish all buyers were 100 % cool and can wait for their items in the time frame of delivery.
Item has until March 9th to be delivered.

·6 months agoTracking is through the carrier not Ebay. The buyer can file a claim after the estimated delivery date so there is still time which is on the 10th. I would reply to the buyer saying that you shipped the item on the 3rd and it is still in transit.
