Wrong DHL tracking number shown on eBay - Funds still on hold
Summary: qazimq_22 is facing an issue where the DHL tracking number on eBay is incorrect and their funds are on hold despite the delivery being confirmed by DHL. meinehexe11 suggests that while the tracking number can't be changed, the correct one can be added. perfect-sally recommends checking where the label was purchased and advises adding the correct tracking number manually, noting that funds for new sellers might be delayed even with delivery confirmation. They also suggest contacting an eBay representative for assistance.
Hello everyone,
I am a new seller on eBay. I shipped my item with DHL, and according to DHL, the package was successfully delivered on June 26.
However, my eBay order still says “On hold – awaiting delivery” and does not show the item as delivered.
I also noticed that the DHL tracking number shown on eBay is different from the actual DHL tracking number on my shipping receipt.
Has anyone experienced this before? How can I get eBay to correct the tracking number and release my funds?
Thank you for any advice.

Thanks for the tag @perfect-sally

Mentor1 month agoQuestion: where did you buy the label? If it was via eBay, the correct tracking number should be provided. You can also edit the tracking number yourself or add another correct one.
And as a new seller, even with proof of delivery, it could still be that your money is only paid out later.
Please provide the item number and an eBay employee can take a look.
Hello @samantha@ebay could you please be so kind? Thanks
