How will items not recived be handled due to Canada post lock outHello gman1993306,
We have published our plans in great detail here, please consult that page as any updates will be added on there, if any: www.ebay.ca/canadapost.
To save you some time, here is the part that answers your question:
Am I covered against buyers opening cases for item not received?
If you list on eBay.ca, estimated delivery dates will be extended on your listings and buyers will have to wait until the latest estimated date before they can open cases for item not received. If you list on eBay.com or another eBay site, and your buyer opens a case for an item that is stuck in transit, you should call Customer Support and explain the situation. eBay Customer Support agents are aware of the Canada Post disruption and will be equipped to guide you as well as the buyer through the disruption and the open case.
We won't get into Ebay's protection statement which is very vague.
What if a case is opened or a claim made through Paypal?
And please don't say we can't speak for Payal as then your protection , as vague as it is, is absolutely worthless.
It's true though, I don't know and we don't have control over what PayPal is doing in response to the Canada Post disruption. I would recommend contacting them to ask.
Why did Ebay not do that on behalf of all sellers?
We aren't participants in your client relationship with PayPal. We can't do that on your behalf just the same as we can't intervene in the labour dispute between Canada Post and the CUPW to avoid this situation altogether.

Hello again,
May I pick an old scab and ask again how much closer we are to seeing Promotions Manager come to ebay.ca?
Much appreciated,

Hi Maureen,
What a refreshing question! 🙂
We aren't any closer unfortunately. I wish I had better news there.

The migration tool does't tell you what still needs to be moved. How do we find that info
It does, if you navigate to the view option "Unprocessed".
I think you have already migrated your listings once though, so that won't work for you. You need more applied help to resolve this. Please reach me by email and I'll connect you with someone who can help.

From the Seller Central Board:
1. I used my free coupon to buy a bundle of boxes. It said (at the time, it has been changed now) that they use USPS to ship the boxes. Great! A week later I receive a call from FedEx saying they won't deliver to my PO box. I only had a PO box to deliver to. FedEx has to return the boxes to ebayshippingsupplies. They refund my order and I receive a new coupon.
2. I wait a week and try to reorder. This time it appears they aren't even going to ship it. The size I ordered is currently out of stock. I believe they sold more than they had. I sent a message and haven't received a reply. It has been 10 days since I paid/used my coupon.
My question is, will I receive a new coupon? This coupon was for last quarter.

As someone once said, Yea Whatever!

You're right, it's giving me items I have already done. There are other items that says it has moved over but they never did, so those items are sill unlisted. This migration tool has been a nightmare. There is no way to find out what is't there. I have had to go through every one of my more than 5000 items one at a time to make sure the quantity is right, (that part didn't migrate as I have mentioned) and if it's even listed. Not your fault I realize, but still VERY frustrating

Raphael, I think Scarlett's question is all referring to her not being able to use her coupon last quarter. They first returned the shipment, then we're unable to ship due to no stock. Surely we shouldn't be penalized for their shipping problems? That doesn't sound fair at all!

hello Raphael like a new to eBay and new to this forums i have few questions that no one was able to answer me .
in the past 2 months hapened that i got this customers that you wish do not have them.Well to make the story short
#1 story customer from USA both from me brand name leather purse.After she received after while she claimed is fake,isnt leather ,isnt what i expect etc.I didnt mind return since i have 30 days return policy.But what i dont like is that they expect us to pay for their wrong order.Well after dealing with the customer for long she left me negative feedback even tho she didnt send me the purse back.when i called ebay they assisted me and removed the negative feedback and they closed the return request .Next they ebay went to my Paypal account and give her all the money back even tho i didnt have the bag and she was making falls statements .This happened month ago. I like fair player .Well today she paid me back the purse.After exchanging a lot of emails .But back then ebay turn me down with no protection.Thanks for that i had learned the hard way.
#2 Now i have open return request from another USA customer who both the same purse like what she has(she exchange 6 emails before she bought it,those emails flash the red light) I didnt know back then how to refuse a sale.Now i know.So shortly i approved the returned request but just simply asked for pictures of the purse that i send to her .Why because of all her claim and all the answears are in this 6 emails that she sent me before she bought my product .I never refuse return .Somehow this lady escalate the case stating that i do not want to work things out. well she didnt responded to my emails so what i should do?.I have asked couple of times the ebay teams to look close to exchanged messages because the answers are there.I know by my heart this lady want to send me her old bag and keep the new one .And i know that ebay will turn me down again .WRONG i have all the pictures of this particular item because i knew that things will go wrong.Fed up already with people who abuse eBay Money Back Guarantee.IM Waithing to see how this one will go
There is a black sheeps on the both sides but please stop punishing people like me who work hard .Isnt fair.

In addition to your regular pay cheque, do you get a "danger pay" premium or bonus to answer this thread every week?
07-07-2016 08:40 AM
lol he really should. Some people here seem to take their frustrations with eBay out on Raphael and that's not fair imo. I see Rahael here are as a valuable resource for policy and information as well as a direct line to corporate. I do appreciate your efforts Raphael.
07-07-2016 08:43 AM
I totally agree. He faces a veritable firing squad each week. And if that wasn't enough, he has voluntarily opted to shift Board Hour to Board Day which serves as an extended period of time to be cannon fodder.
Thank you, Raphael!
07-07-2016 10:54 AM
I don't blame Raphael personally at all.
I totally blame Ebay and possibly Raphael should stop using WE and start using EBAY when he answers.
As far as celebrating the postal resolution, The brilliant CUPW has declined binding arbitration.

Why can we as sellers, not get straight forward, concrete answers from Ebay?
dutchman, I always do my best to answer you or anyone else with as much accuracy as I can. I'll add that I do these chat sessions out of courtesy. This isn't my main responsibility. If you are unhappy with whatever information or responses I'm able to provide, I'm sorry.
Curiosity question.
What is your main responsibility? What are your other responsibilities?
While asking, who are eBay Canada? eBay Canada seems so secretive and low profile. How many employees in the Toronto office? Ms Stairs is the head of ebay Canada? Is there any posted information on ebay Canada? What is the structure of ebay Canada?
