Us. post still has all my eBay sales stuck in Philadelphia. All my buyers want refunds.

Had the same problem, but all cleared and delivered now after 3 weeks. Shoot them a copy of the tracking number and the tracking that the PO provides. It'll show up soon. All the stuff that I waiting on for me arrived that was stuck in Baltimore magically appeared, too. The backlog is clearing.

When i buy a label through eBay. They send a tracking number to the customer. 2 buyers are giving me a hard time. they want to see proof that it has their address. I have told both "to return the items . i will refund everything even return shipping" They both got back to me with wanting a discount. with my eBay sales. I draw a hard line at all or nothing with returns. Their gripe is with the post office not me. Is 3 week delay acceptable? "no" Is it really the end of the world? "no" A lot of folks forgot the times where delivery took 3-6 weeks from purchase.

Idiots. It has the address that they themselves put into eBay. That's 100% on them and under their control.

There are some people so stupid that they cannot understand how stupid they really are.............and yes, I've even had a buyer move and not change their address in eBay or Paypal, and then expect me to know where they had moved to......after I had shipped it to their old address.

I had the same problem. I guy bought a comic book from me. He moved any never updated his PayPal address. Tracking showed his item was delivered to him. He says “ I don’t live therr and wants a refund “ later on he tells me I’m lucky. The tenant of his old house gave him his package “ how lucky i feel.

In my listing description there's stock language that if you have your address of record wrong, that's on you, not me. For the dumb, dumber, and dumbest of gits.

PayPal shows address verification. When a buyer pays. You will see an icon stating an address the recognize. If that icon does not show. They will not honor any lost package disputes.

But if the buyer moves and doesn't update their Paypal account, that's still wrong. I've had buyers with addresses in eBay and Paypal that did not match; have to contact sellers to get confirmation as to which one is correct if either is at all. They think someone is updating their accounts for them???

You think people think. Come on . It’s not their fault. I sold them an item and could not get it to their correct address.” Didn’t you read my Facebook post” ? “i moved”

Sort of sours a seller on selling, doesn't it? But then again, all sellers are crooks and frauds, and worse.

UPS. is now delivering rings around the the post office. I bought several items in Georgia on Tuesday morning. The arrived 10:00 am Thursday. Al while nothing has moved through Philadelphia. I'm thinking about send a box of prunes to philly. Maybe that will help with the log jam I went to the local window to ask about How what if and when? They gave me a phone number to call. Ha Ha Ha Busier then a witches brew on Halloween. I sent that number to my customer. she responded with a 3 page rant of an email. I might need to send her the box of prunes.

As of today's count, over 345,000 deaths in the USA in 2020 from Covid19 .

Stunning .
And scary.

Murders are up also. 36 percent across the USA. 50 percent in Chicago. 42 percent in philly. A sad year all around.

You guys do know that the law is that the shipper's responsibility ends when the goods are placed in the hands of the carrier? If the buyer wants guaranteed delivery his contract is with the carrier, not the seller.

Yes well aware of that. With eBay things are a little different. as a seller. It is my responsibility to get it in the buyers hands safely. unbroken and the condition they bought it in. nothing leaves my house without insurance. I charge it to the buyer. With eBay i must ship an item in a timely fashion. All my items ship the same day a buyer pays me. If the pay me after 5 pm it goes out in the morning. with the postal delay Paypal is backing sellers. Honestly it looks like the post office is being a little snotty with this delay. 15 days now my item has sat on their floor.
