According to eBay, the item was delivered on 03/09/2026 at 4:55 in the morning!!🤔🤔
Summary: rennstrecke2017 expressed confusion and humor over receiving a notification from eBay that a package was delivered at 4:55 AM, noting it had not actually arrived. kometenhuhn clarified the logistics involved, and petersmodellbahnstuebchen supported this explanation. rennstrecke2017 asked about the implications if the item never arrived, to which petersmodellbahnstuebchen explained eBay's seller protection policy. The item eventually arrived late, leading rennstrecke2017 to suggest improvements in how delivery statuses are communicated. They thanked everyone for their assistance.
Good morning, if it weren’t so sad, I’d laugh about it too (which, to be honest, I do 😂).
eBay, but seriously, how can it be that on 03/09/2026 at 4:55 a.m. I receive a message from you saying that the item was delivered.
Is it really that hard to find a solution for this with DHL / Deutsche Post?
According to eBay, the shipment is considered delivered on 03/09/2026, according to the tracking number delivery is supposed to happen on 04/09/2026, since nothing arrived on 03/09/2026 at 4:55 a.m., how would this go in the worst case now?
Can a mentor please get an eBay employee involved who can explain this? Thanks for that
Sorry for this screenshot, but I don’t know what can be shown here and what can’t.
According to the tracking number...

OP2 days ago · EditedHello @petersmodellbahnstuebchen & @kometenhuhn .
The item arrived yesterday on 05/09/2026, so not on the 4th as announced either.
If a nitpicker has nothing better to do, they make a big deal out of it.
I just wanted to point out that these "statements, announcements" could really cause trouble for some people and that this "delivered" at the last scan should be described differently.
Wishing you a nice Sunday and thanks for your replies
P.S.: How can you mark something as "solved" here now?

OP5 days agoThanks @petersmodellbahnstuebchen & @kometenhuhn but just
" Assuming " nothing actually arrived ( that has never happened to me yet ) but just assuming, can the seller then claim that it did arrive, since it was marked as "Delivered"?

if the value of the shipment (including shipping) does not exceed € 20.00 and the shipping labels were bought through Ebay, the Ebay seller protection applies.

·5 days agoHi @rennstrecke2017
we don't need to bring in an eBay employee for that, since @kometenhuhn explained it to you correctly.
Best regards from the Baltic Sea

·5 days ago · EditedAs it says there, your item arrived at the logistics center on September 3rd and will go out for delivery tomorrow.
With basic shipment tracking, this is the last scan that happens and is therefore shown as "delivered". If you don't know that, it can be a bit confusing.
