      Buyer-Requested Cancellations Counted as Seller Fault Unfulfilled in BBE – Is This Correct?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

      Hello, I am looking for clarification regarding the Seller Fault Unfulfilled metric under eBay's Cross-Border BBE policy. It appears that some orders where the buyer explicitly requested cancellation may be contributing to the seller's Seller Fault Unfulfilled BBE rate. I am trying to understand whether this is intended behavior or a possible classification issue. Specifically, if the sequence is: Buyer places order → Buyer requests cancellation → Seller accepts the buyer's request → Buyer receives a full refund should that transaction be classified as Seller Fault Unfulfilled ? This seems different from a situation where the seller cancels because an item is out of stock or because the seller is unable to fulfill the order. Another concern is that the BBE dashboard may show a number of Seller Fault Unfulfilled transactions, while the downloadable BBE Transactions report does not clearly identify the individual transactions responsible for that metric . This makes it difficult for a seller to determine which transactions are being counted and provide evidence if a transaction has been incorrectly classified. Could someone familiar with Cross-Border BBE please clarify: Are buyer-requested cancellations supposed to count as Seller Fault Unfulfilled? Does BBE distinguish between buyer-requested cancellations and seller-initiated/unfulfilled cancellations ? How can a seller obtain the Transaction IDs being counted under Seller Fault Unfulfilled if they are not identified in the downloadable BBE report? Is there a specific process for requesting a manual review of an incorrectly classified BBE transaction? I would especially appreciate clarification from an eBay representative or sellers who have encountered the same issue. Thank you.

      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.

      Seller protections are in place for sellers impacted by extreme weather, wildfires, and related carrier disruptions.
                       

      Your safety, and the safety of those close to you, is what matters most to us. We also understand you may be concerned about delays for items already in transit or challenges getting sold items to your carrier. If your business is impacted, eBay will automatically protect your seller performance, including: Your late shipment rate Your valid tracking upload rate “Item not received” cases due to late delivery along with any related Negative or Neutral Feedback as long as you uploaded tracking before the case was opened, and have a physical scan from the carrier Defects resulting from transactions you cancelled

      High-Value Return Fraud: 40-Lb Weight Discrepancy Ignored & Unfair Negative Balance

      "I am looking for advice or insight from other sellers who have dealt with high-value return fraud. Completely unacceptable. I was left with an unfair negative balance of $6,000 because eBay completely ignored a documented 40-pound weight discrepancy on a fraudulent return. I shipped 78 lbs of high-value industrial inventory, and the buyer manipulated the return to send back a fraction of that weight. Instead of investigating actual mail fraud and grand larceny, support hid behind automated delivery scans and dismissed an official federal IC3 cybercrime report as 'having nothing to do with eBay.' Offering a tiny fee credit while sticking a seller with thousands in losses due to platform-enabled fraud is disgraceful. Has anyone else successfully fought a negative balance when carriers and tracking data proved a massive weight shortage? Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated."

      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.

      Product Protection Plan not received
               

      I have not received the protection plan (Allstate) that I purchased for my CD player. How do I follow-up to obtain this protection plan?

      Electronics item refunded before shipment, but I can't cancel the AllState protection plan?

      I made an electronics order, but had to cancel it due to seller lies. After 6 business days, only a label had been created, but the package not dropped off to USPS. I received long, unbalanced replies about 6G dangers, fictional 2 foot rain totals in his area, and rolling blackouts that were not happening anywhere in his state. I asked for and received a refund for the stereo receiver, but I also purchased an All State protection plan, and I cannot make any headway getting a refund for the protection plan. I managed to actually speak to a human about this who said the Protection plan would automatically cancel within a few business days. It has not canceled. When I try to address this through the chat "help" system, I am always asked to choose an item that is being returned, and protection plans do not ever appear on this list. Calling phone customer support is an exercise in torture. The AI "assistant" functions more as a gaslighter. Like most AI help systems that cannot possibly help, one or tow words will be pulled out of context, and like a deliberately crippled search engine, gives you results based on the single word it recognized and nothing else. It is impossible to describe a problem with context to a system designed to frustrate users to the point that we give up. So, how do I get eBay to refund me for the All State protection plan I purchased for the stereo receiver I ordered, then had to cancel because the shipper offered easily-refuted lies for having not yet sent it? The receiver refund has already processed, but the protection plan remains.

      Denied Defect & Restriction: Ethiopia to USA Hub Delay via Qatar Cargo Route
                               

      Hello Community Managers. My seller account was restricted due to transaction defects caused by international cargo disruptions completely outside my control. I ship packages out of Ethiopia to buyers in the USA. My carrier routes all North American freight directly through the Qatar Cargo Hub, which is suffering severe regional flight groundings. Frontline email support repeatedly denied my appeals because they only looked at the final destination country (USA), failing to see the physical transit hub bottleneck. Tracking shows my packages were accepted by the carrier in Ethiopia on time. Please help escalate this to a trust specialist to manually review my tracking routes and lift this restriction. @devon@ebay @kyle@ebay

      Refund for item not as described without returning
                                                               

      I received an item that is not as described. I contacted the seller several times and received a reply only to my first message. I asked for a refund. If the seller wanted the item back, I asked for a prepaid label. (Based on what I read, the seller pays the return shipping if the item is not as described.) I tried to go through the process for a refund, but I was given only two choices: eBay credit when the item is dropped off (which it won't be) or credit to a credit card that is no longer valid. I deleted that credit card from my account and added a valid card. But the 'return' process still shows the old card number, and I know I can't cancel that return request and open another one. I also want to give negative feedback, but I think I should wait until this is resolved. I don't know what to do next. I can't figure out how to get eBay involved. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Diane
