If you’re stuck and don’t know what to do, DoNotPay teaches you the steps to take if the eBay buyer says the item was not received, but tracking shows it was delivered.

The Buyer at eBay Claims the Package Never Arrived, and Tracking Shows It Was Delivered—Now What?

If your eBay buyer hasn’t received their package yet, but the status says it’s been delivered, they should track the package before taking further action. Tracking will allow them to see whether the item is late or has been delivered to the wrong location.

Here’s how to track the package, depending on the carrier service:

What Can Your eBay Buyer Do Once They Track the Package Down?

Once the buyer tracks the package and confirms it’s still on the way, they should:

  • Check the places where the courier might have left the parcel, such as their backyard, garage way, porch, etc.
  • Ask their neighbors or other residents whether they might have picked up the package by mistake

If the eBay buyer still can’t find the package or sees that it was delivered to the wrong location, they should file a claim and get a refund from the courier.
