Anyone else having miscellenous ebay issues lately? Or am I just jinxed?
I have had several returned packages for name does not exist or no place to put mail. All times the address is what ebay gave me.
Ebay Standard envelope rarely picking up tracking. Use this mostly and it only tracks about 10-15% of the time.
And lots of rude buyers. One replied to my reply to his message lol when not funny at all.
All this in the last month or so. Starting to wonder what is going on!

ESE has been scanned erratically for as long as it has existed. I tried an Ebay cardboard mailer instead of an envelope earlier in the week. Arrived fast and had more scans than I have ever had on any ESE shipment.
Too soon to reach a conclusion.
No place to leave mail is common for weekend deliveries to a business address, but all of mine get delivered the next delivery day.

No, I’m not having issues like you describe.
Dealing with issues such as yours is all part of online selling.

This time of year, buyers go a bit crazy.........forget to change old addresses, etc......especially if they haven't bought here in a while..........part of the season........

I had two returned packages just yesterday for bad addresses. Rude buyers are always mixed in with the good ones; this time of year volume increases so you notice stuff like that more.
As for your ESE shipments, in the past we advised you not use top loaders as they can cause issues. One of those issues is making the package too rigid and the envelopes not getting scanned. Are you still using top loaders?
Another common reason for ESE to not get scans is label placement. Are you aligning your label with the top right of the envelope, leaving 1/8" between the label and the corner of the envelope?
