      System error allows 3 buyers for a single listed item. One canceled order left a negative review. EBAY- denied my request for removal because I canceled the order not the buyer, even though that's what I was informed to do by the EBAY help chat.

      I've been an ebay member and buyer since 2005. Less than two weeks ago, I started selling my old collectibles on ebay. I made over 40 sales and everything was going smooth. Then, I listed a single item last Friday and when I woke up, I had 3 different buyers who had bought and paid for the item. I double checked the listing and it was listed as a quantity of 1. Through the help chat and articles it said I had to cancel the extra orders. I canceled two of the orders and explained what happened. One of them who is a reseller, left me negative feedback after I explained. I sent him screenshots verifying everything and asked that he take down his review. He hasn't responded and ebay denied my request for the removal of the negative feedback because I was the one who canceled the order and not the buyer, even though that's exactly what I was informed to do from the same help chat. My rating went from 100% to 83%. Any other sellers ever experience anything like this? Any suggestions beyond contacting the buyer again and requesting removal? Thanks in advance.

      Help and Contact Page Useless
                                                                                                                                                                                                       

      I made two purchases from two different sellers. They said their product was delivered but NO it wasn't or I never received it. I contacted both sellers who were no help at all, so I've been trying to contact eBay. This process is totally impossible! I cannot send an email to report the seller because eBay doesn't have an option for no seller name and won't send it without one. I don't have a name because the purchases are no longer in my purchase history NOR are the sellers showing up in eBay. How do I get a record of the emails between us. How do these things just disappear? I've tried for days to contact eBay but their contact and help page is a joke. Nothing leads to nothing. I've been on an endless circle trying to get this resolved. AI doesn't help it only says the same thing repeatedly. EBAY YOU NEED TO DO BETTER! How can I report these sellers without a name or no longer in my history? I sent a call request to no avail, twice! I've sent an email they offered on their page, finally, to no avail. How do I get a hold of a human at eBay and how can I get my money back? I am so frustrated I could scream! This is unacceptable customer service! We spend our money here we should be able to talk to someone if we come across a problem that your "help" page does not cover! Again, eBay do better and send me my two refunds.

      Buyer says that they didn’t receive package even though it shows on the USPS tracking that the item was delivered. What do I do?

      I shipped the order last month and it says that it was delivered to the porch of their residence 2 days later(6/26). However, half a month later(7/16), they have reached out to me to say that they didn’t receive the package. I have contacted usps, and they reiterated what the final update says and that the buyer should not have waited almost a month to announce that they hadn’t received their package. At this point the buyer is asking for a refund or another pair of shirts; which I don’t have. I checked their account and they have positive reviews, so that makes me think they aren’t scammers. Can someone please help me with what I should do???

      How Do You Deal With Problems With eBay Standard Envelope?
                                                                                       

      I'd like to hear from other sellers about their experiences. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with eBay Standard Envelope. I've had shipments that were accepted by USPS and received multiple scans while in transit, but if the tracking never updates to "Delivered," eBay holds the seller responsible, regardless of the fact that there is clear evidence the item was shipped and processed by USPS. What discourages me the most is that when a problem arises, eBay does not help the seller. If a buyer opens a case or leaves negative feedback because the tracking never shows delivery, the outcome seems predetermined. It feels like all responsibility falls on the seller, even when the issue is with the tracking system and not with the shipment itself. After dealing with this several times, I'm starting to wonder whether using ESE is worth it at all. How do you handle these situations and avoid losing money and seller reputation over issues that are completely outside of your control?

      Need a manual review of a denied feedback removal request
                       

      Hi, Recently I had a buyer purchase 2 items from me. I combined shipping of them and they were delivered as expected. The buyer started complaining to me about one item, claiming it was INAD, but the listing very clearly described exactly what was shipped to the buyer. There was a 1-letter typo in the title. He says the item is too small, but the measurements were clearly shown in the pictures and specifically detailed in the listing text. I haven't seen a new case filed with eBay, or maybe it was just outright denied. He left bad reviews on both items he received. I can deal with his complaint about the item in dispute, but he left further negative reviews on the other item he received. He specifically says the review is not for the item it's tied to, but for another one. It also contains personal attacks that cannot be reasonably viewed as constructive criticism. I submitted a request for removal, and was denied by the automated system. Anybody who reads that review will see it is in violation of eBay policy, so I'd like to ask a human to read it and make a decision. I've tried via the site and app, but can't get to the point of reaching a support rep. How can I get this addressed soon?

      Customer Support Leadership Member : Jewel - Feedback
               

      Apologies if this is the incorrect forum or format- I was instructed to post here by another, more professional customer support member from eBay.  In the two decades I’ve been on eBay, I have always found their support to be responsive and at a minimum, professional.  Today I spoke with customer support leadership member (cannot confirm if a manager or not) named Jewel, and it was one of the more unprofessional experiences I can recall experiencing.   Despite the lack of a language barrier, she had trouble understanding navigating some questions on my account.  I’m not sure if it was a comprehension or a lack of willingness to listen- maybe both.  She talked over me constantly and had zero respect at all from the jump.  She seemed annoyed to have to answer the phone, to be honest.  I’m still kind of in shock!   I’d be happy to provide more context with eBay, as well as the conversation ID / time / etc.  I’m the last person to go this path and always commend support that is above-board in surveys and otherwise.  However this experience was THAT BAD and needs to be documented.
