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: Thursday, Oct 27, 2016 7:28 AMERLANGER , KYArrived at Global Shipping CenterWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 6:01 PMCINCINNATI , OHIn Transit-Departed USPS FacilityWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 6:01 PMCINCINNATI , OHDEPART USPS FACILITYWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 3:07 PMCINCINNATI , OHIn Transit-Departed USPS Destination FacilityWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 3:07 PMCINCINNATI , OHPROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITYWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 2:07 PMCINCINNATI , OHIn Transit-Arrived at Post OfficeWednesday, Oct 26, 2016 2:07 PMCINCINNATI , OHARRIVAL AT UNITTuesday, Oct 25, 2016 3:21 PMCINCINNATI , OHIn Transit-Arrived at USPS Destination FacilityTuesday, Oct 25, 2016 3:21 PMCINCINNATI , OHArrived at USPS Destination FacilityTuesday, Oct 25, 2016 5:45 AMALLEN PARK , MIIn Transit-Departed USPS FacilityTuesday, Oct 25, 2016 5:45 AMALLEN PARK , MIDeparted USPS FacilityMonday, Oct 24, 2016 11:24 PMALLEN PARK , MIIn Transit-Arrived at USPS Origin FacilityMonday, Oct 24, 2016 11:24 PMALLEN PARK , MIArrived at USPS Origin FacilityMonday, Oct 24, 2016 4:02 PMJACKSON , MIIn Transit-Departed Post OfficeMonday, Oct 24, 2016 4:02 PMJACKSON , MIDeparted Post OfficeMonday, Oct 24, 2016 4:02 PMJACKSON , MIAcceptance 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 Tuesday, Nov 8, 2016 10:54 AMWINNIPEG , MBIn Transit with Destination CarrierMonday, Nov 7, 2016 11:56 AMWINNIPEG , MBIn Transit with Destination CarrierMonday, Nov 7, 2016 9:27 AMWINNIPEG , MBIn Transit with Destination CarrierWednesday, Nov 2, 2016 7:43 PMMISSISSAUGA ,ONIn Transit with Destination CarrierWednesday, Nov 2, 2016 6:26 PMMISSISSAUGA ,ONCustoms ClearedWednesday, Nov 2, 2016 6:08 PMMISSISSAUGA ,ONIn Transit with Destination CarrierTuesday, Nov 1, 2016 11:58 AMErlanger ,KentuckyShipped from the Global Shipping Center to International DestinationMonday, Oct 31, 2016 2:17 PMErlanger ,KentuckyCustoms Documentation and LabelingMonday, Oct 31, 2016 2:06 PMErlanger ,KentuckyProcessing at Global Shipping Center 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.
