Has anyone else noticed lately packages not arriving?
Summary: In the discussion, christymac401 shares their experience of frequently bidding on low-cost items on eBay, only to find that many items do not arrive and sellers are quick to issue refunds. shmuel_w echoes this frustration, noting that packages often fail to arrive, and advises against requesting reshipment due to potential issues with refund eligibility. mrdutch1001 points out that the thread is outdated, originating from 2014, and suggests starting a new thread for current concerns. kh-phdan ultimately closes the thread due to its age, inviting participants to start a new discussion if they wish to continue the conversation.
I'm pretty much an all day, all night buyer and have found in the past my bids often win, even though they're fairly low - sometimes under .25. Unfortunately, way too many of those low bid items are not arriving and the sellers are downright eager to refund the money.
If I bid on something, I really want it, not a refund. These refunds coincide with a recent large increase in minimum bids I've noticed, especially on Items with free shipping from China and Hong Kong.
I don't want to be penalized by eBay for too many refunds, but it's not my choice. Can/should I do anything?

·2 years agoLately my eBay packages haven't been arriving. It's very frustrating. I get the money back, but it's many months later and I end up without the product. eBay should do something about it.
To get your money back you have to request a refund starting after the maximum arrival date for up to 30 days. NEVER ask them to resend it, becuase if it doesn't arrive it's too late for eBay to garantee a refund.
