Change in display of tracking on sold items

[emerald40]

Ebay changed the way we buyers view the tracking info.

Looks good, and now no need to have to go on the carrier's page.

Ok I am just going to give my thoughts on this in 2 posts
Here is the 1st post
I think this is a bit childidh not very professional

It went backwards. 

I show three that will be delivered today. None of them will be delivered today. Only one of them is within 1000 miles of me.

eBay will disapoint alot of people telling them information that is counter to what the USPS is telling us.

Above 1st post of mine should be childish not childidh  

2nd thing about it is my email says this on a different purchase.





but my tracking says this, above says was shipped below in tracking says will update when shipped on same package 
This is what everyone was trying to get through to ebay about wording,new buyers would be confused.

Well, so much for calling it a good idea.

I cannot even get them to open now.  Just shows a blank rectangle.

Mine is doing that now also.
Maybe still playing with it , final touches ?
The tracking progress with hand off  points did seem better. Will see when we can get back to it again

"Childish and not very professional" seems to be the eBay way of communicating. Maybe I'm an out of touch old codger but I don't care for the over the top "familiar form" eBay uses to address customers at all.  I find the "Hey" greeting used by some eBay staff in posts answeing questions to be quite grating as well. Is this a preschool playground or a place of business?

At least eBay is consistent.

Everytime I see 'reach out', I have flashbacks to the 1970s and the Bell Telephone commercials.

I now see what you guys mean.  Shows estimated date of delivery as January 18th, but as of that day it has only reached the distribution center in Providence.  It has to leave there and get to Cranston and be processed early enough that it gets on the truck before it leaves.

So this will take another 2  days.

Arrived at USPS Regional Facility

Yep. Almost all the communications are childish and famiiar, and more and more lacking in useful information content.

We are well on the road to Idiocracy.
