Anybody holding off buying due to USPS delays?

I sure am. I have a few things that I should have received last week but still no where near delivery. I have some things I want to buy but holding off until this ridiculousness subsides.

    I'm holding off selling, buying I'm not that concerned by a few days delay.

    Ditto. I'm not selling right now with the USPS craziness because I don't want some rogue negatives from unreasonable buyers but I'm still buying. I figure they'll all eventually get here. :#

    Buying is a concern. Some items are taking over 30 days to receive....after 30 if it’s lost or damage you are sol with eBay getting a refund. So do you open a case on day 30 or hope it gets delivered eventually?

    This starts with me this weekend for some cards.

    eBay should extend the request window to 45 days IMO with the delays

    Hi,
    I slowed down buying a bit, due to the mailing delays and a little low on funds right now.
    I did message to my last seller; “I’m in no hurry for my upcoming Curry, as long as it gets here in 1 piece”

    I have several purchases that are allegedly close by but they have not scanned in any updates for the last 3 - 7 days. Getting a bit concerned as they are literally in town or close but stalled...

  • It’s bad. Guys doing set breaks on eBay are in bad shape. They should put all the sales in a Van and drive em around the country to deliver, lol.

    Buy all you want.......it's the seller who takes all the risks

    You basically have to open the case at 30 days to protect yourself. That's why I'm hesitant to sell right now.

    Buying, yes. Selling, no.

    I am having an ebay managed payments nighmare. so no more selling. Maybe ever.

    With 3X checked bank numbers and sending ebay a bank statement they still cannot get my sales dollars to my bank.

    Even trying new banks. It all comes back as we cannot verify bank XXXX account. I can't delete a bank/card/ either without this coming up. Nothing works. Ebay customer support can't help.. They say only managed payments people can.. Get transferred there and its a 2 1/2 hour wait and have tried multiple times. Still no way to contact them. All ebay says they ca do is send me diectly on the phone to ebay MP....separate people. they cannot even get ebay MP to call me. They say they have no direct line. So I.m stuck.. Ebay has about $4K of my money.

    This has been going on for 6 weeks.

    and shipping. Bought a card in November and it just arrived yesterday.. Card was stuck in Tulsa OK for 8 days

    I feel bad cuz I just open a case on some expensive card I bought but tomorrow is day 30 and the tracking shows they have not moved in over two weeks. It did not help he waited over a week to ship after I paid. Anyhow if I get refunded and the cards show up later I’ll send him the money back.

    Sorry to hear that....it's been a nightmare for a lot of people. I had a similar issue at the beginning with the money not going directly to my bank. It ended up being the way my bank account was "coded." It was a savings account and ebay said it needs to be a checking account only. Ebay was absolutely no help in my phone call to them...no surprise there....The easy fix for me was to just open yet another checking account at my bank so it's the right type of account. Which I'm more than fine with because I don't want Ebay to have their hands in my main accounts anyways. Maybe that's what's wrong with your account? Hopefully it's that easy of a fix for you.

    I had a similar situation trying to buy a $20 item with a ebay gift card. When I tried to pay for the item it wouldn't go through as a error message kept popping up. They said ebay customer service couldnt help, so they transferred me to managed payments. After 45 minutes on the phone, they finally fixed the problem and I was able to purchase my item.
