Entitled much??

[evry1nositswindy]

I was working today, left the house around 7am and got home around 3pm.  I saw I had a couple of sales and a couple of messages.  I looked at the messages first in case one was a cancellation (yes, I'm cynical).  One message said where's my tracking??  I went to my orders and it had sold at 7:44am and the message was less than 3 hours later.  I am not Amazon.  I have 1 day shipping, so it showed me to ship by tomorrow.  I am not late in shipping it.   

No question here, just tired of the entitlement.  I have a life too and have to work at other jobs besides eBay.  Buyers...there is a person behind your order, not a company.  Be kind, be patient.  Some of us might have had a rough day.

As a buyer I just don’t understand this obsession with tracking an item you purchase.

I buy a product, I see the shipping estimate, I wait for my parcel to arrive. I don’t care how many different parts of the country my parcel may visit, so long as I receive it.

If a week passes beyond the estimated delivery date, I check my purchased item in my history and see if a tracking number has been uploaded – if yes I will check it out, if not I give it another week or so and claim INR. If it arrives later, I contact seller and organise payment into their Paypal or bank account.

As a seller I rue the day eBay decided to show tracking to buyers LOL

As a seller I watch tracking to be proactive in case something happens on a parcels merry way. 

As a buyer I watch tracking to plan so I can be home when it arrives. (Porch Pirates - I try not to give them something else to steal.) Note: Requiring a signature is not services built into most eBay 3rd party systems from my observations. Buyers buy for all kinds of reasons. It's not really in the buyers interest if they are forced to replace.
