eBay Standard Envelope Not Tracking Since Last Week
 

All of my ESEs have not had any tracking updates since Wednesday.

What gives?

I always get tracking within 24/48 hours. Nothing for me as well. It is strange.

I checked a bunch of cards I sold/shipped last week, as well as cards on their way to me and none of them have ESE scans.

My local hub is usually good about scanning, so something is definitely up.

Refunds and PIP insurance claims are going to skyrocket due to unscrupulous buyers.

I have GA package sent out last week, zero scans since the acceptance scan.

What label printer do you guys use for these? I use a Brother QL-710W. I love the printer, but for these, the font on the labels, and the code they are supposed to scan seems pretty small

So this is a system wide issue.

Is eBay even aware?

Yeah - not seeing much of anything on any of mine. I see a few in transit scans at my local hub but less than 1/4 of them have it. I also do not see many delivered scans - a few out for delivery on the 12th is what I see but nothing after that for sure at this point.

Same here with no tracking from items shipped in the last 4-5 days....but I know they are at least moving thru the system because I have received + feedback on 3 items that show nothing but "Tracking number provided".

I doubt it.

The alarms will go off once the cases start rising exponentially

It would likely take a lot of claims for it to get noticed. Most people are honest and won't open cases but there are always bad apples.

Have had one I sent out on 2/11 and it's still stuck at origin processing as of that same date. Buyer hasn't left feedback for others in over a year so who knows what the true status is.

Just checked some of mine. Same issue, some with no tracking at all. Have gotten 1 “has this shipped” message so far. I’m sure they will be rolling in the next couple days.

Since Feb 4th I am seeing a lot of tracking hit main distro center here in VA and then nothing. I have plenty with Feedback and no delivery scan the last 10 days also. So 31 from the 4th to the 13th no update but 8 of them received Feedback.

Tracking has always been hit or miss but definitely seems to be a much higher percentage of ESE shipments not being scanned at all.

On top of that, I had around 10 ESE shipments returned to me on 2/14 marked "Undeliverable As Addressed". First and only ones to be returned out of hundreds of ESE shipments for me.

Maybe something changed on the inner USPS scanning systems that is affecting ESE shipments.

I have also shipped 100's ESE and for the first time ever in the past week none have gotten scanned at all. For the last month or so, they would get scanned initially but not marked as delivered.

They probably fired the guy unaware of that he was in charge of the tracking number dept

Just Google "postal service slowdown".

I am having issues as well. Some cards seem to be getting delivered as people are leaving feedback.

I posted on the eBay forums about it here

And Beau from Hobby Evolution did a podcast about it this morning

It seems to be everyone is affected by this.

Just saw a wild rumor that Pitney Bowes and the USPS had a 4 year contract that was not renewed....no clue how valid a reason that might be for the current lack of scans.

Oof. Surely someone at eBay has a plan right.

I surely have a plan and put it into play. Ended all of my ESE BIN until this is resolved. I don't have the time, nor the patience, to deal with multiple INR claims. At least I can afford to do this as it's just a hobby for me.

Probably not as ebay doesnt have a clue what ESE even is when you talk to them

What about the GA listings?

GA listings would have nothing to do with ESE tracking issues....all of my GA shipments are tracking per normal.
