Shipping Does anyone know ebay seller marsim_93?

So, it's been three days since you purchased the doll? Honestly, I'd say that's a little soon to worry. I buy on ebay regularly. It's quite normal to have no contact from the seller and to wait a few days before it's posted.

Ebay sends notifications and emails when an item is sold. So, I'm sure they'll know it's sold.

I also don't find it odd that their feedback has nothing recent. I often forget to leave feedback for things on ebay and I often don't have feedback left either. I think people are more inclined to leave feedback when it's negative. Or they might not use ebay much.

I'd give it a bit longer.

 

Hopefully you'll get a reply soon! It is annoying when sellers don't reply. I know it can be worrying, especially if it's expensive or something you really want.

I don't know about you but I feel like ebay has changed so much just lately. This probably isn't relevant to your issue
But it just feels like a very different place now.

I really hope you get your doll soon and you love her!

 

i would give them seven days, or look now into what ebay says is okay to cancel. Like it youre able to cancel with ebay agreeing after 2 weeks or something then id just have to do that and send another message saying that due to lack of contact you will be cancelling (thats when you cancel) and that if they are around they can reply to contact you back to do a potential re-sale of the doll.

honestly it is a bit odd to me that they wont reply, but likely hopefully they do see it quickly. how they see their notifications kinda depends on what they have, i know some of my ebay messages ended up in junk at times, but luckily im on mine frequently.

Good luck but i would check out what the timeframe of being able to cancel with ebay stepping in is a good next step to have in your pocket. Otherwise, if you just cancel, the seller also has to approve it and if they are MIA then they cant ship/approve.

 

The seller should have their shipping policies listed either in their profile on in the listing itself, just like in the Marketplace here. But it just sold on Friday. Post offices aren't open on Sundays in most places, and some aren't open Saturdays either. And it's likely they didn't see the sale until after they were closed Friday assuming they have a day job. Even if it's been listed for a while, they'd still need some time to get the doll packaged and shipping labels sorted.
Ebay won't tell you it's shipped if they don't use ebay's system to create a shipping label (I know i often don't when I sell something). They'd have to load the tracking number in manually, which as far as I'm aware, doesn't send an alert to the buyer.
It's a little odd they didn't reply to your message, but 3 days over a weekend really isn't a time frame i'd worry that they're scamming you. Ebay will send them reminders that the item has sold and needs to be shipped after 3 business days passed the time the item sold (or the number of days they gave in their listing as their shipping time have passed), and again after a week if they still haven't marked it as shipped.

 

I sell things from ot hobbies on ebay every now and then, and I agree with the points @quilleth made.
From my experience as a seller, I have 3 business days (ie weekends not included) to send any sold items.
Ebay sales can be pretty sporadic, especially with how high the fees are for sellers, but if the seller doesn't give you a tracking number by a week after you've bought the item, I'd contact ebay about it and open a dispute

 

It's also possible they went through some of their things, found a doll, then decided to list on eBay, then forgot they listed it. I sell on eBay every few years or so, and had an item I thought auto-expired, but it had been renewing for ages when someone reached out with an offer (I could not find said item and let them know, then removed the listing). It's possible their eBay is attached to an email they don't check frequently, so they may have not seen the item sold nor your message.

 

@glass_mountain I don't know about business sellers, but as a private seller, I was still charged a 12.18% transaction fee plus Australian GST (goods and services tax, 10%) on something I sold last week.
It winds up being pretty hefty, so I only really use ebay for things that I haven't been able to sell elsewhere, and know I'll only get pocket change for them

 

I hope you're able to get the doll!

 

You could get in contact with eBay customer service and see if they have an alternative contact (phone, other email) for the seller on file - I would wait for at least a week for that but maybe worth pursuing as a last straw.
