eBay

I have been on ebay since 2001 with 100% perfect feedback as a seller- I recently sold a pair of glasses to a member in Thailand, he was told approximately 6-10 delivery time. On day 10 he told me he had not received package so it was lost and he knew it would never arrive. He has already filed a claim and PP has attempted to deduct from my account.

The member has 17 transactions and he has left negative feedback for almost 10 transactions all claiming not to have recieved items or gotten them in poor condition.

The member is a criminal and is scamming ebay seller, what are you doing about this ebay ?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS EBAY ???

If you do not use tracking, you will have never-ending problems with "Item Not Received" cases.

At this very moment, your buyer is probably telling ten of his friends about the seller he knows who is mailing out free items 🙂

Well, technically he didn't mail it internationally without tracking (such as it is), because the package is tracked by its Customs number and barcode, and it has to have a Customs label on it, so there. It would still need to show a Delivered status, though.

As @tinneri has said that he has his PO receipt, and that number is printed on his receipt, hopefully he will look up the tracking on that number at usps.com and tell us what it's showing there.

You didnt put 79 cent tracking on a 79 dollar item?

Everybody wants to be a beast, until it's time to do what beasts do.

Hello, it is not 79 cents to track an item internationally from my country, it is very expensive. The buyer did not request a tracking number and I have never had the need for one. I am going to have to pay the ransom Plus he will leave negative feedback.

tinneri · ‎12-12-2017

I'm not in America where tracking is cheap, many buyers pass on tracking when they hear the cost involved. I never needed it before but then again with a scamming buyer it would not have made a difference.

it was that easy but I'm in NZ and it went to Thailand. I am going to try and get help from PO here though

Sounds like you have been lucky not needing one all this time, again the tracking number is for YOUR PROTECTION not the buyers they have no need to request it they are protected whether you have it or not however as you have learned you are not.

Ebay's 100 percent buyer satisfaction has basically created a breeding ground for scammers and malicious bidding practices. In doing this, as sellers, we have little recourse. Ebay will tell you one thing or another, but ultimately, they do not do near enough if they are doing anything at all. They could care less about the seller. I had a few auctions where the items went really high. When the auctions ended, the highest auction winner requested to cancel the transaction within thirty seconds of the auction ending. Another auction in the same week was won by a different bidder with zero feedback. When I started looking around, they both had the same destination address. It was the same bidder under two ids bidding and winning then not following through. Ebay tells you to report the bidder. WHY? They will do little to nothing and anything they do to punish the bidders, the bidders will just restart another id. If they can do it once, they do it over and over.

Hello, I am an expat living in Thailand, if an item is sent registered here it almost always gets delivered. However, we have had several items purchased from dropshippers operating out of Hong Kong/China that had no tracking number which never arrived. As advice, never send anything that is not tracked/registered to a country where the delivery folks (and possibly buyers) are earning under 15.00 USD a day. You could contact Thailand Post and describe the situation and they might be able to conduct a search--which we have done with limited success. Also, almost all mail here is delivered by folks who don't speak or read English. A package may be undeliverable because the address is written in English (depending on the region it is going to). Note that Thai's are very particular about being right, even in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence.

Tracking is NOT the buyers responsibility! It is a responsibility of the seller to cover themselves in the event that the buyer claims that the item hasnt arrived.

My cousin Vickie spent three years in Thailand when she joined the Peace corp . When she returned home she had some pretty amazing events to share ,, some good and some not so good . One terrible incident was when her and some of her other Peace corp members witnessed a bad traffic accident . They said people just walked or drove on by ,, nobody stopped to help the injured victims of the accident . So they stopped and tried to get the people out of the damaged car . Finally she said ,, other people began to stop and they thought it was to also offer assistance . However instead they helped themselves to the belongings of the victims ,, even rifled through the trunk ,, stole as much as they could then left . Tulips
