Everyone is in the same hole. Due to eBay's zero concern for sellers in this matter, all of us, I'm sure, are going to take a huge hit, being FORCED to refund items that are proven to be shipped on time, but just not delivered on time due to USPS/FedEx/UPS delays, with holiday. Covid, and short-handedness on the shipping partners parts.
I've been lucky and haven't had any claims filed...YET I'm just waiting. If eBay doesn't get a clue real quick and start backing their sellers, KNOWING that their are delays coast to coast, north. south, east and west with every single shipping partner available, and make sellers give refunds....they are going to lose A LOT of sellers.
Also giving fair warning...just wait because I am quite sure that late deliveries are also going to cause a barrage of "item not as described" dishonest return claims from buyers simply wanting to return items because they are entitled and don't get that everything is on hold, and feel they no longer want or need the item because they "didn't get it on time" and filing an item not as described claim will force sellers to take the return, due to eBay's lack of care or desire to actually look into claims, ask for pictures of damaged packaging, etc. Their response to everything is "just refund the buyer". What do they care? Not coming out of THEIR pocket. In a bad economy where people are selling just to get by, and others are lying to get free items... as long as eBay's wallet is thick, that's ALL they care about.
Just wait....it's coming.
