eBay ESUS tracking issues?

[jp1216]

Am I the only one to have issues getting cards from sellers that use eBay's cheaper shipping option? Tracking numbers that begin with ESUS?

I currently have four cards (all under $5 each) enroute that were shipped over a month ago. Various stages of shipping progress - various locations around the country.

Haven't seen this before. Just find it odd that I have four cards all floating around at the same time.

It was pretty crappy over the holidays, but all my stuff showed up eventually. The eBay envelopes are just the lowest class of package that can even get tracking. It's a PWE with a number on it. Not exactly the highest priority for the USPS.

This is my experience too. Hope your cards show up soon.

I’ve noticed tracking says delivered on one day but shows a day or two later

I've been lucky in that I haven't had any issues in receiving anything so far, though I don't buy much anymore.

I've had cards delivered to me, I leave feedback within the hour, and ebay doesn't show them as delivered until a few days after that.

I'm a seller that gets all orders out immediately. I've been having a lot of inquiries from customers that tracking shows order as delivered when they haven't been. Have had about a dozen or so like this. Haven't had the USPS lose one on me yet. They always show up soon afterward.

My shipments seem to be slow also. Sometimes they show out for delivery after they have been delivered.

I've seen that several times too. These four cards aren't showing that. One was scanned once - a month ago. One was scanned at a nearby post office - 3 weeks ago. One had two 'in transit' scans over a month ago. The fourth card was returned to the seller for some reason. He said he'll try again. That card moved around for five weeks the first time.

I've had two of these disappear since Dec. The only ebay items I've ever had not delivered in 20 years. They were relatively low value, so I haven't tried to follow-up at the post office, but I've heard that they aren't scanned by carriers. Just machines as they are being sorted.
