Ebay - Delayed Shipping Request

[mintacular]

Hate the idea of sending an empty package, presumes buyer is honest. Could lead to a dishonest person claiming you did not deliver item purchased, waaaaay to risky

Same thing here. Had a BIN get hit last night, almost an immediate message about please wait until March 1st to ship. I replied within a few minutes saying, ok...no problem I'd wait. Then he sends another message today asking me again to please not ship until March 1st....made me wonder why he was asking again and he didn't see my reply last night...

Well, the buyer last night just bought another BIN from me tonight. Hmmm.

I see your point about the empty package. I guess that may be best only if you trust the buyer. If not I would offer to cancel and refund or just take the hit to your ship on time rating.

How about calling eBay and telling them the situation and maybe they can put a note on your account.

Just mark the item as shipped and then when the time comes to actually ship go to Paypal and ship it using the Multi Order Shipping Tool. This way you have satisfied eBay Requirements (by marking as Shipped) and there is no additional eBay involvement in ship processing.

Contacting ebay is what I have done in the past when I have had this type of request.

The CSR asked if the buyer had sent their request for delayed shipping via ebay message. The buyer had, so the CSR read this message and noted on my account about the delayed shipping. I was told to print the label out now, but waited to ship. After delivery was made, I called ebay back and they adjusted my shipping metrics to honor the customer's request.
