    I honestly have no idea what this means. Should I just not wait for it today? I really wish to give a positive to the seller on ebay. I hope the package isnt lost

    Everything between "it's quitting time for today" and "oops my bad wrong route"
    If next step should be you would call USPS the next morning.

    So it's been 11 days and no movement just dodgy Chinese symbols, I tryed contacting the seller twice over 3 days to look into the tracking but no reply so may have to contact PayPal Screenshot_20200116-062814_eBay.jpg Screenshot_20200116-062615_Samsung Internet.jpg


    But on the flipside Tr-01 Jazz arrived today so well done to Screenshot_20200116-201509_eBay.jpg

    Why not they have a Email Us option and it's maybe a safer option.

    No reply could just be CNY.
    No updates could be CNY.
    But 11 days is weird since it ain't the 25th. Would wait until the Feb 8th myself for a last try unless feedback ain't positive.

    And what's dodgy about Tracking number provided?:)

    Anyone ever have trouble with cjs89-54? He's a longtime seller that still has 100% positive feedback, and he's super responsive on messages, but I bought two transformers from him November 26th and they're still supposedly sitting in China. He's promised twice now to contact PayPal himself and refund me and so far I still have no figures or refund.

    If you have any of his items saved on your watch list and you click on it, he does have this:

    "This seller is currently away until Feb 05, 2020, and is not processing orders at this time. You can add this item to your watch list to purchase later."

    If you need to ask twice don't believe the seller. 6 months is long but some play that game. Just make PayPal work for you and claim the refund.

    I need to call PayPal tomorrow about my dispute I already have with someone else, I guess I'll open a claim against him while I'm at it. Thanks.

    I don't get it... I never dealt with PayPal with my 15 disputes.

    Ebay always refunded the money, through Paypal.

    One word of caution, my Paypal account was closed by Paypal...they never told me why, refused to tell me. One of my last transactions was with a refund for a MP-10G that never shipped--they shipped a tiny envelope with part of a gun. However, they also shipped it with a bad address and it spent weeks running around the postal system, people writing all over it and marking out the bad address info. So I won the dispute with that fact. "The seller never responded with a valid tracking number", but they DID respond with something that made Ebay generate a different message than the other 14. Not long after my PalPal account was closed. In the end that turned out to be a good thing for my spending habits and I have fall-backs that I can use.

    I just want to caution people about relying on refunds too much, just don't buy if too good to be true. I really don't know if that behavior will put you in a "risk" algorithm for review or if I got banned from a lying eBay seller, or something else. PayPal won't tell you and since I don't have a business that relied on them I guess Im done with them too. (they emailed me on Christmas eve BTW--SCROOGES!)

    One Day Bid should be taken off of the good list. They've sent me five figures that were obviously second hand and smelled awfully of tobacco smoke.

    Several members in this thread have mentioned that exact problem with them before (open boxes, faction symbols already applied, paint scuffs, etc.). Between that and an issue I've had with them about getting a missing part, I no longer use them.

    I was thinking that then straight after conveniently in the next message out of office but in all fairness Chinese new year I understand in this situation every year. Although jazz was dispatched later and still got here ok yesterday different seller also China. Just have to wait and see. Maybe it just missed the boat
