eBay

Received message from seller asking if I received my Bok choy seeds. (Box chop? auto correct is being a pain)

Anyhow, they said please don't start a return/refund case. Whatever.

I went to purchase history and discovered a lot of the stuff I have purchased recently isn't there.

While I remember buying the seeds (and I didn't receive them) I don't know when I bought them.

Don't know how to look up estimated delivery date if the transaction isn't there.

I go to PayPal and drop down the description. A good amount of these transactions have invoice numbers but no description of what was purchased.

So, why would ebay remove items in purchase history? I used to be able to go back a year. Now I can go back maybe a couple of months.

Any ideas?

@ubcensored,

"Anybody have some insight on Hong Kong shipping these days?"

Ever since the Covid outbreak which started in China, passenger flights, which carry 90% of the small packet items, were at first cancelled, then even as things lightened up the number of them is still greatly reduced. There is likely to be slow downs in items being delivered from China for sometime to come.

Add to what I've already written that since many chinese sellers drop ship from warehouses inside of China, and the internal supply chain there is still somewhat interrupted, shipping is likely to be slow. Further since chinese sellers do not have much incentive to admit they can't deliver on time or give refunds they'll use stalling tactics.

Ok. I figured it out.

My "orders" were set for 90 days. I reset it to all purchases for 2020.

Item isn't due till July 13.

The seeds are coming out of Hong Kong.

So, hard to say when they'll get here?

If you have found the listing and have determined that the estimated delivery date is July 13, not sure what information you need about Hong Kong shipping.

If you've not received your items within a few days past that July 13th date, can't you just open an INR case in the Resolution Center?

Sounds like your HK seller has learned he has a big problem with slow deliveries and is reaching out to reassure his customers.

I haven't grown bok choy in years (they are very susceptible to flea beetles) but they are a cool weather crop as I recall. Is mid-July too late or can you plant them and get a crop in October.

You have 30 days after the last estimated delivery date so mark that on your calendar -- especially if it is too hot for the seeds to be planted anyway.
