order status not updating

[i2ms_dukaan]

I have noticed that many of my orders have been delivered, but their status on eBay has not been updated from "shipped" to "delivered." My orders are fulfilled through my Amazon store, and when I contact eBay customer support, they are unable to track these orders. This issue seems to occur with tracking numbers that start with TBA0000000000. Is anyone else facing this problem?  help me out to resolve this issue

thank you

Bahrain...is there an Amazon Store in that country...

Your shipments are being made with Amazon Logistics which does not integrate with any other online marketplace.

Ebay will neither recognize shipment or delivery as having occurred. You will never become a Top Rated Seller. You are likely to lose all Item Not Received Claims.

If you are not using Amazon MCF to fulfill in plain packaging, you may also face Ebay discipline for drop ship violations.

Are you drop shipping from another site via eBay?  Orders from Amazon will not show up on eBay.  It's also a huge violation and can get you suspended. 

[i2ms_dukaan]

Many people are doing dropshipping and using Amazon as the main platform to fulfill their orders.

Top Rated Seller

i2ms is one of eBay's most reputable sellers. Consistently delivers outstanding customer service .

Go figure.

They are also being suspended as this is a policy violation.  You may be next.  Here's a link that can explain:

Drop shipping and product sourcing

This is only considered drop shipping IF it ships in Amazon labeled packaging.

If @12ms_store is using Amazon multichannel fulfillment and shipping their own merchandise, and having it shipped in plain packaging is is simply third party fulfillment and not an Ebay policy violation.

There are many sellers on all of the Online Marketplaces who use Third party fulfillment without violating drop ship policies. And there will be many more.

If the OP is buying from an Amazon seller, his days are numbered. But if he is the Amazon seller, he can survive by using appropriate care in avoiding the rules violation.

Thanks for the info.  However I am seeing so many posts from overseas sellers who are being suspended due to retail arbitrage.  JMO but my guess is they are not shipping their inventory from Bahrain to Amazon in the US.  Thanks just the same for your valuable input here on this forum.  Always appreciated.

Just pick any listing from the OP ... the OP is not selling their own merchandise, but drop-shipping from Amazon.  They are violating eBay (and Amazon) policy.

So, @i2ms_dukaan , the way you resolve this is by selling on eBay according to eBay's policies.  I know this may seem difficult, but your current approach will not earn you much if any money, and may cause you to lose money in the end.  (The hype you read about is not real).

The OP has made close to 200 sales.

I guess I may underestimate the number of stupid Ebay buyers who spend more than they should on these products.

If they were brighter, they could buy more items from Ebay sellers and we all would benefit.

 My orders are fulfilled through my Amazon store,

@i2ms_dukaan 

If you use the approved method of sending products YOU already own to Amazon,  through their FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) program you would get tracking numbers that can be converted to the eBay allowed format and all would be fine.  eBay does allow Amazon FBA, but again these are for products you already own. 

If you are purchasing the products AFTER you make an eBay sale, that practice is NOT allowed and the tracing numbers will typically remain Amazon internal tracking numbers.  Do remember it is a simple matter for any buyer to 'right click' on one of your "lifted from someplace else" photos and see right away that you are overcharging for the same product available on Amazon or elsewhere. 

So did you send all those products to Amazon?

No kidding! I'm gobsmacked at the completely overpriced infrastructure bits and bobs. OTOH, hey, the store has Egyptian Apocrypha mixed up with skin treatments and bibles with BDSM gear. Truly, a shop for all seasons.

And many are getting suspended for it also.

The "trainers" made me stop looking, especially realizing where the seller is located. Thinking about a certain procedure that takes place in certain countries, and then the difficulties that procedure must surely create once a little girl matures and eventually gets married - hopefully as an adult. The word "trainer" is truly repulsive in that perspective.
