Tracking your eBay shipment

Posted on Friday August 15, 2014 at 11:38:13:

One of the things you might need to do in order to know when your eBay order will be delivered after purchasing it is to track it.

You can track every purchase you made on eBay by making use of your eBay account and checking the order status. This will help you to simply know when you order is arriving. In fact, I normally recommend that you get to read the delivery information before even placing an order on eBay as it will help you know how long you have to wait before the item your purchased is delivered to your US address.

I do it quite a lot since I've made a lot of purchases on eBay, mostly electronic stuff and it helps me know how to arrange for my packaging and final shipment.

I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop for under $100 on eBay and wanted to ship it to my US address within a specified time frame. Now, it seems that the seller's estimated delivery period has delayed by 2 days and so since I was a bit worried as to where the package is currently located, I simply logged into my eBay account a buyer and checked for the status of my order.

To check for the location of your eBay shipment, you can do this using eBay's tracking tools and this is located within your account by going to Account and selecting Purchases history > Order > Tracking number. It would show up the last uploaded location of my order and it showed that it was already closeby and would just take under 30 minutes to get to my US address. So, I expect it to reach the final location at my warehouse before the end of today.

Tracking your eBay shipment as a buyer helps you to keep your mind at peace because although sellers might at times not give a perfect shipping date since they mostly give an estimate, it helps you to know when you are going to receive your goods at your delivery address and then be ready to receive it, concluding your transaction on eBay.

Any item you buy on eBay normally comes with a tracking number and this is located in your purchase history for the order. You can make use of that tracking number to check the location of your shipment and know whether it's arriving earlier or later than the estimated delivery period.
