      Stolen at eBay's Glendale Heights, IL hub: 45 RPM record by Keith Anderson "One Step Beyond”
               

      Missing Item Appeal: Keith Anderson "One Step Beyond” (45 RPM record, Cozy 513) Tracking shows that my package containing 37 vinyl records was delivered to the eBay international shipping hub in Glendale Heights, IL on January 20, 2026. However, it never departed for international shipment. Attempting to resolve this through eBay Customer Service has been an absolute nightmare filled with automated bots, scripted responses, blatant misinformation and lies. While some items have finally been refunded, many have not. Customer service even claimed that the package was handed over to my local carrier (PostNL), blaming them for not updating the tracking. This is simply impossible since the package never even left the US hub. PostNL has confirmed they never received the package. Therefore, I have decided to post a Missing Item Appeal for each missing record here on the eBay Community Forum, including photos and details. Please take a close look at the attached picture and let me know if you have any information regarding the whereabouts of this record. I am also posting this to expose this corporate theft and warn other international collectors about what happens at this hub. Note: This record was part of a shipment of 37 vinyl records. Initially, I planned to file a Missing Item Appeal for each missing record and post 37 individual links, mirroring eBay's own tedious process of forcing buyers to file separate claims for every single item. However, based on advice from several forum users, I decided not to go through with that.

      Search request for 37 items stolen at eBay's Glendale Heights Black Hole Hub

      Tracking shows my package was delivered to the eBay shipping black hole hub in Glendale Heights, IL on January 20, 2026. However, it never departed for international shipment. Attempting to resolve this via eBay Customer Service is a total nightmare of robots, nonsense, and blatant lies. While some items have finally been refunded, many have not. So I've decided not to use eBay's shipping services ever again. Since there were 37 individual items (45 RPM vinyl records) in that shipment, I want to try to track them down. Question: Is it possible to post an individual search request for each missing item here on the eBay Community forums, including photos and details? If this is not the right place, what other platforms or forums would you recommend for tracking down lost or stolen vinyl records?

      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."

      An item "marked delivered" is now trying to be returned for missing parts.

      Hey, Recently I had an item I sold ship out and be delivered or "marked delivered". However the buyer was on vacation. A week after ot was marked delivered the buyer returned home and said the item was missing multiple parts of the order (almost everything) and it wasn't even in the same box I shipped it. Now they are opening a return! I feel bad and would like to help but something feels fishy about this. Any suggestions? Should I offer a refund and have them keep the 1 item (not worth the return) or should I have him file a claim with USPS? THANK YOU!

      USPS shows the item arrived with the buyer but they say they say it was stolen before they got it.

      USPS shows that the item I mailed to the buyer has arrived but they contacted me and said the item was stolen before they could get it.  The tracking info and address are all properly entered into EBay. I suggested for the Buyer to open an “item not received” request in eBay but they said they can't because the item is shown as "Delivered".  What should I do?
