eBay, etc. General Question/Answer Thread

Did you get your regular mail forwarded from your old address? Have you gotten any other mail that has been forwarded to you, or anything that is addressed to you at your new address? If you are receiving mail, I don't think it is because of the previous tenant's forwarding instructions, but it could happen. If it gets delivered to the wrong address, I believe the seller is on the hook because you can prove it wasn't delivered to an address in your zip code.
My regular mail is to my parents house, new bills for my water, gas, electric, etc have arrived here okay. That's why I thought it was weird, I'm making my way to the post office now.

The post office didn't have it and they said my stuff wasn't being forwarded, but the manager person wrote down my info.

The tracking has changed though, it said "Return to Sender Processed" and the next thing it said was "Redelivery Scheduled - The customer has requested that the Postal Service redeliver this item on an unknown date in HUNTINGTN BCH, CA 92646."

I am hoping this means going to the post office started a redelivery. I am so glad it's not an expensive item, just so odd I've never come across this. Post office is off their game this week cause another package being sent to my work got sent from close by to Arizona and it's making its way back. :doh:

If you're in Huntington Beach, it should be on its way.
 
I am in HB, just got an email saying it was delivered to my address, but the tracking shows "Your item has been delivered to the original sender at 8:14 am on August 17, 2017 in BEALLSVILLE, PA 15313"
I am not home but my roommate said there's nothing there. What on earth is going on USPS. :shocked:

I hope the seller doesn't think I'm playing games or something, I am baffled. I get other mail and roommates have received stuff from Amazon so nothing else is being forwarded. I also have the correct address on eBay so unless the seller hand wrote the shipping label, not sure how this happened.
 
Hi alls !

I have a trouble with my English understandings of pad/ Ct meaning. Please kindly answer my silly question
about the Pad amounts I will get when buy this product.
My understanding is that 2 Ct will be 4 pads in total ( 1 Ct is 2 pads). Is it correct?

Thank you for your kind and time !

Hi, The listing is very poorly worded because it creates confusion, but I actually think that when you buy this item you get a total of two. I think he would have mentioned it to boxes somewhere if it was a total of four.

I'm glad it wasn't China because on first glance, I saw a ton of them coming from China.

This is a he-said/she-said case and you need to take detailed pictures of the package, box size, label to show that that was the box it came in, etc. to show that what you say you received is actually what you claim.

Good luck.

Sorry to bother you with this again! I'm hoping for a little bit more advice, if you get a moment.

As everyone expected, eBay sided with me (in around 180 seconds) but I am now being told to return the items to the seller. However, when I created the return request I only stated that I was missing 24/32 items and the 'projected return amount' eBay is showing for me is for those 24 only. So, if I return the 8 I received I will still be out of pocket because I'll be receiving a refund for 24 items, not 32, and have no items at all. Hopefully that makes sense! So what do I do? Should I send the 8, and square it with eBay afterwards? Or send an empty box? From the way the seller has acted, I'm not expecting them to make it easy for me to get the refund whatever I do.

Are you sure the projected return amount is for the 24? Does the seller have a restocking fee that might account for the amount difference? What are you using for your return reason? It should be something that indicates not as described.

Yes, definitely for the 24. When I originally opened the "not as described" dispute, it had the option for missing items and a drop down menu for me to select how many were missing. This is how they know that it's the 24 that are the option. All through the process, when I go onto the return it states the return amount to be the value of the 24 items, not the 32 and the same is true now that eBay have decided in my favour.

It's not that I have a problem with returning the 8 items, but the seller has been absolutely vile to me in their messages and I not expecting them to do anything without a fight.

I think that even though it is called a return request, you won't be expected to return anything, just receive a refund for the 24. You might want to call ebay to clarify. Is this what you want? Do you have a use for the 8, if you don't get the entire lot you ordered?

Yes, I think I will have to call them in the morning (the customer service is closed in the UK right now) as eBay have provided me with a returns label etc. I ordered the missing 24 from Amazon so if I return the 8 I will be 8 short, but they are a similar cost on Amazon and I have Prime free delivery so I can get another 8 without too much difficulty.

Hi. I bought a few bags from BagsforSale2017 and only received 2 of them even though all 4 of them were marked as delivered (he used the same tracking number for each purse). I opened a case with eBay and said that I didn't get 2 of the bags and the seller responded pretty quicly and said that 2 of them were sent back to them for not enough postage. He has sold quite a few bags so I was shocked that he didn't know how to ship something properly. The seller said to close the case and they would ship them the next day, so I did. A week later, I still never got the bags and reached out to the seller and they have been ignoring me. I contacted eBay and they said that once a case is closed, it can't be open again. So I contacted PayPal and for some reason it's not letting me open a case, so I'll probably have to call them.

I closed the case because I had bought a few other bags from this seller and received them so I trusted that they would send the 2 bags and I didn't know that once a case is closed, it can't be reopened. I would have never closed it. I don't know what to do at this point and I'm angry that he stole my money and didn't send me the bags!

And then all of a sudden, this seller got a lot of negative reviews at once and it looks like I'm not the only one he is screwing! What do I do?

I guess you know now not to close a case until you receive your bags. Call paypal to see why they won't let you open a case. There used to be a rule that you couldn't open a case with both ebay and paypal. I thought that went away when they split the companies. If you funded your purchase with a credit card, your last resort is opening a dispute with them.

Thanks! I used PayPal Credit and it's the 6 month promotion thing. I haven't even paid it off yet. I could with my credit card and then call them? Is that what you are saying? I had spoke to eBay and they said I should be able to open a case with PayPal, but now it makes sense why I can't. Since I bought a few other bags from the same seller, I opened up a return on the ones I received to see if I can make up for those bags that he took my money on. Someone told me that eBay still makes you ship those bags back even if the seller doesn't respond to the open case? Is that right?

I don't think you can pay off your paypal credit bill with a credit card. Even if you did, your dispute with your credit card company would be against your paypal credit bill, not ebay, and not the ebay seller, so it wouldn't work. Even if you used paypal credit and haven't paid yet, you should still be able to open a paypal case. I would call them and tell them what happened, that you closed the ebay case in error and how the seller promised to send the bags but didn't.
