Yes.

It is considered Delivered when  the item is  either Delivered to and/or picked up by the  recipitant and so scanned.   Should the item never  be  delivered  or picked up, it will be sent back to the sender - I think the recipitant  has  two weeks (?) to  arrange delivery or pick up after receiving a notification.

It has to actually say DELIVERED to be considered delivered by eBay and PayPal

I assumed you meant “delivered” as far as your liability should the buyer open INR. That would be correct. eBay would deny the buyer’s claim and consider it the same as delivered.

Yes! That is what I was wondering. Thnx!

It depends. But in your case, no.

We have people not wanting packages delivered for many reasons. Packages disappearing, no shelter, gift for someone in household, weekend trip... These we scan attempted.

People putting in a longer hold time (past the usual 10 limit to have a package held for pick-up may get a delivery to mailroom scan. Some choose to renew a hold from a winter address each 30 days rather than put in a temp. forward.

Yes it would, for OP’s purposes. The post office might not consider it delivered but I can tell you that eBay does. 

OP’s question was:

If the buyer files a claim with eBay, he will lose. It doesn’t matter why he requested the hold, he can’t claim non delivery.
