I bought an item in Michigan in the United States on October 20, 2016 and the seller shipped the package on October 24, so far so good. Then I have the following tracking:

What a waste of time to go from Michigan down to Ohio and then finally to the Global Shipping Center in Kentucky where it stayed there doing nothing for 6 days.
Then after crossing into Canada here's the tracking

It arrived in Ontario and it has to be delivered to me in QUEBEC and it ended up in MANITOBA!!!!!!
Yesterday I lost patience and I contacted eBay customer service, where I explained the situation and gave them the tracking information. I got back nice automated messages telling me where to go to track my package! HELLO???? I sent you the tracking, I know where my package is!!! I sent another message asking to speak to a real person and I received a response (still automatic) to open a dispute with the seller!!!!!! Why the seller? The seller did their job and shipped the package on time!!! This eBay tactic of shifting the blame onto the seller has really stunned me!!! On top of that, I asked for my tracking number for Canada Post so I could contact Canada Post, and they won't give it to me, only the Global Shipping number is available (which has been changed 4 times along the way). To throw people off the trail???? eBay seems to no longer be responsible for packages that leave the Global Shipping Center, but the seller no longer has any power after that because the outgoing USPS tracking number is no longer valid. Who do you turn to? This is truly a disrespectful practice and an unfair one for consumers, especially when their site boldly says on PayPal that our purchases are insured, when the rest would be "but once it leaves global shipping your package is handed over to the devil and we wash our hands of it".
I still don't know today after 20 days whether I will receive my package that I paid $300 for, but I can tell you one thing for sure: this won't end here. I am going to look for recourse to put shipping responsibility back on eBay. It is inconceivable that a company just pockets the money and washes its hands of all its responsibilities.

·3 years agoOften the package gets lost in Erlanger (stolen by the warehouse clerks) the security there isn't very strong. Two sets of four mountain bike tires vanished. I got refunded after a month but I waited for nothing.

·3 years agoYou are absolutely right, they really have the worst company in the world, they always blame others, they are never responsible for their service de **bleep**e, sellers should never send their packages to this company, offered by ebay, they're scammers, crooks, they don't respect the law, there is an information rule, that's offered on the web, we see everything that can be authorized for importation and what is forbidden, but they work blind, they're just there to pocket the sellers' service fee, bunch of criminals
