Delivered through Taxi Drivers

[moonstore60]

At this moment we didn't have tracking number.  Then we have to put "Mark as ship" only.

Is it occur to the seller rating? How can we manage that situation?

Pick up only and get a q code prior to using the taxi thing. be sure it is a correct code.

Our your items pick up only ? Why do you not have tracking numbers ?

Did you notice the OP's location? And, when you look at his listings, does the term "drop shipping" not come to mind? 

Also, shipping from California per listings; seller registered in Sri Lanka.

Did your drop shipper provide this info to you that they were going to deliver your items you sold by a taxi driver? Do you know how much that's going to cost, especially since you are in Sri Lanka and you are drop shipping from the US? 

These people sound like they are not being truthful with you.  Your items need to ship with the shipping methods that are offered through ebay.  You don't have the items in your possessions.  They're in California. Something is not right with this and I think you are headed for some problems.  

I wish you well.

The drop shipper told them they're delivering the items by a Taxi?  The costs will be astronomical.  The drop shipper is playing this seller and it's not going to end well.  Wow. 

[soh.maryl]

Sorry -- you evidently DID notice those things.  Looks like we posted at the same time.

Not having tracking or a way to say digitally the item was delivered will play havoc on your seller metrics.

To your taxi delivery no such exists.

So you have to use pick up only witch issues a q code to the buyer and when you as a seller get said code, and enter it"  it is considered delivered if a valid code.

This is the only way to be sure you do not end up with un shipped items on your seller metrics.

Do you mean seller rating as in defects? Yes you could get a defect when an INR is filed because you have no proof of tracking and increased chance of negative feedback as well.

What if the location is in Los Angeles and the buyer is in San Francisco?  Do your really thing with gas prices being the way they are that the buyer will agree to local pick up?  California is a big state.  This drop shipper in my opinion is lying to the OP and they are in for a world of problems.  No disrespect to your reply.  I think the OP is just inexperienced and the outcome will be the obvious. 

[soh.maryl]

Yeah, I get all that.  Thanks.

You do know that dropshipping from other retail sties is not allowed and could get you suspended.

Of course: makes me wounder what system these folks got setup with:

Smeels like a SCAM, and if they gave out financial they may find themselves fully responsible for the financial situation as well not just part of it...

Yep some thing in this one is just not correct for sure.

Have you actually had a taxi driver deliver a 45-gallon trash can? I notice you sold one a couple of days ago... 🙄
