So I used eBay standard international to a buyer who filed INR. The tricky thing is that often times these packages change hands with 2-3 different carrier companies so there’s 2-3 different tracking numbers associated with the package.
The original tracking that automatically uploads to the purchase (ESUS…) doesn’t get tracked by USPS, but there’s many third party sites that do track it. Anyway this particular package has 3 different tracking numbers (not including the FC tracking that it got when it went to the US sorting hub). These packages pretty much always get handed to DHL eCommerce, so there’s a tracking for them too. Which number was I supposed to upload to the INR?
ESUS only shows tracking until it left the US, the DHL one shows it cleared customs at destination country, and there’s actually a USPS one (LX something) that started at destination country and states notice given to recipient as package is ready for pickup. So I used the LX one. The buyer asked eBay to step in immediately when the option showed up (didn’t give me any time to call eBay and close this out). The bots put this case on a 10 day hold. Weird as I thought they would’ve just awarded me.
