📚 What This Video Covers

‍ • Why INR Cases Matter: unresolved cases can cause defects that lower visibility and hurt sales.

‍ ✅ Tip: Always respond within 24 hours — even one late response can trigger a defect.

‍

• Checking Buyer Cases: Go to Seller Hub → Orders → Requests & Disputes to view open INR cases.

‍ ✅ Insight: Check this daily to catch issues early and prevent escalations.

‍

• Tracking Numbers & Compliance: eBay must recognize your tracking number for protection.

‍ ✅ Pro Tip: Convert Amazon TBA tracking using tools like AutoDS (Qtrack) or Trackerbot to stay compliant.

‍

• Validating Delivery: Verify tracking first. If marked “Delivered,” check delivery details with your supplier (e.g., Amazon says “left in mailbox”).

‍ ✅ Tip: Send the buyer a friendly message explaining where it was delivered — include images if available.

‍

• Contacting eBay for Support: If tracking confirms delivery, call or chat with eBay to close the case in your favor.

‍ ✅ Pro Tip: Keep records of all messages and actions — eBay reviews the case history when deciding outcomes.

‍

• When Item Truly Isn’t Delivered: Request a refund from your supplier (Amazon, Walmart, AliExpress).

‍ ✅ Insight: On Amazon, use the chat flow: Orders → Missing Package → Report Missing Item to get a fast refund.

‍

• Refunding the Buyer: Once refunded by the supplier, go to the INR case on eBay and click Refund Now to close it properly.

‍ ✅ Tip: Always handle refunds inside eBay - never outside the platform.

‍

• Preventing Future INR Issues:

‍ ✅ Pro Tip:

‍

  • Always use valid tracking. ‍
  • Ship on time, every time. ‍
  • Communicate politely and consistently. ‍
  • Call eBay twice a month to close inactive or resolved cases. ‍
