Dates of transaction way off!
Summary: triber noticed a sale date anomaly indicating a future sale in December 2024, prompting surprise and concern. Various other participants including msau4301, pjcdn2005, flipistics, and lotzofuniquegoodies shared similar experiences or cautioned about potential bookkeeping issues. There was a sentiment of humor and frustration about the error, with references to "Twilight Zone" music and doubts over eBay's technical issue resolutions. marnotom! pointed out the supposed resolution of such issues, but skepticism remained about eBay's effectiveness. The discussion also touched on platform differences and listing on eBay.com versus eBay.ca, with triber clarifying their exclusive listing on eBay.com.
Just checked a sold item and it gives the date of sale as
Date sold: | Dec 02, 2024 |

In this months Q & A when asked about the "Search" problems people were having it was stated that too was resolved. Yet the log on com still shows it as an open issue. There are still reports of folks getting back inaccurate output when attempting to make a search.
A number of those open/closed tickets go back ages. So actual status is difficult to verify. Because eBay says something is fixed, doesn't mean it is. Similar to the the old tree falling in the forest when no one is around, does it make a sound?

OP3 years agoNo, I actually list exclusively on .com. When I started listing on eBay 24 years ago, there was only .com, and it became too much work to try and move all my listing over to .ca.

·3 years agoAh. When I viewed your listings in list view, it didn't look as though the prices had been converted into Canadian dollars (no italics). I had to click on the link to the listing page to see the price in US dollars.

I believe there were sellers on dot com that had recently reported this. Unsure of status or if there was an open ticket in place?

Following along with eBay "technical issues" on dot com tends to make one's head spin if you do too much of it. As for the signs of official real time follow up...No comment!!

I just did a sort for total sales for last year. System shows 2 transactions as being unpaid(Mar 2022) but were actually paid...that show as unshipped with tracking. Both have feedback from buyers. So it's not you in the the twilight zone. More like eBay!!☣️

·3 years agoHi triber, tacking on to your earlier thread. Today I got a sale that says sold on April 25, 2025!!
Guess I don't have to rush out to mail the item. 😉

·3 years agoMake sure you check your monthly statements from eBay and verify it actually shows up. If our sales aren't being recorded properly, it could have bookkeeping implications.

·3 years agoBizarre. I hear Twilight Zone music in the background.

OP3 years agoI don't really check the dates I obviously know when they came in, but this one had arrived overnight and I just checked to see it was before or after midnight. Got a bit of a shock when I was it was a future event.
