What to do if ebay item is 'stuck in transit'?

The estimated delivery date is not changing. The package is.... where?

Maybe it will eventually leave IL?

    Happens all the time. I've had 3 or 4 in the last month sit like that for 10-15 days. Then they show.

    You should do one of the following
    A) run around in counterclockwise circles and scream
    B) curl up in a small ball and whimper
    C) drive to the last know location and interrogate all the UPSP employees
    D) build a shrine/alter to your favorite CU member and sacrifice a polished mercury dime

    Honestly, what do you think you could do?

    What about if it happens I need to return an item.,.. does delayed shipping by USPS extend the return window?

    wow! the seller waited 10 days to ship after he printed the label, i would never buy from that seller again

    @moursund "What about if it happens I need to return an item.,.."

    That will give you another chance to get some attention and ask "what do I do" in a whole new thread 7 days from now.

  • coinpalicecoinpalice Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭✭✭

    just seen it is missing scans, retract that, but i would message the seller as he can call usps to put a tracer on it

    Do you have experience or opinion on the question (what does USPS delay do to ebay return window)? See, I'm being good and did not start a separate topic, but I think it a legitimate question, don't you?

    Consult with your clinical neuropsychopharmacologist, there might be a new drug that will help deal with these exasperating, hypothetical eBay issues.

    After 14 days file a missing mail search request

    My advice is to check tracking. It is not stuck at all.

    This is the seller's responsibility.

    You don't need to do anything except message the seller and let them know. You can advise them to prod USPS if you like. Until the coin is shown as delivered, it is the seller's responsibility.

    Either party can do it. If you care more than the seller, are you going to do nothing?

    Of course not. They'll come here and complain about the seller, too.

    Not going to do the seller's job for him, unless I am hugely vested in the purchase. Dealing with USPS claims can be... time consuming. YMMV

    There are several other posts all pointing out the USPS system is much slower recently due to bad weather, staffing shortages, high package demand, local closures for various reasons, smoke, power outages, and so on. With the hurricane, larger fires, even plane mechanic and truck driver shortages, it is best to not over react to a delayed shipment before the 14 days from USPS actually receiving the item from the seller.

    Ha! It updated literally a couple of minutes (maybe mere seconds) after I checked tracking and started posting this topic...
    What did you do?!!? :smile:

    Or you can take 2 minutes to write to the seller to get him to do it. And then come here, take 3 minutes to write a post about crappy sellers and then spend the better part of the next hour responding to comments. ;)

    I don't know if @jmlanzaf would write a post complaining about an ebay seller... but I won't. I'm not going to post any more topics are aren't coin specific, and with pictures. :smile:

    (Been following along and thought as a public service I would mention that eBay had a new limited tracking service that just kinda sez sent recieved. It’s for smaller items but it’ll drive you nuts)🤓🙀
