Due to the severity of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, many eBayers may be affected. eBay will automatically apply Seller Protection to all impacted sellers. You will not receive defects for stockouts or unresolved cases with buyers, nor will your late shipment rate be impacted.
If your merchandise has been damaged, or you will not be able to access it, eBay recommends ending any auctions and taking down any Buy It Now listings before they result in a sale. eBay will not charge a fee for ending listings early.
If you are an eBay Stores subscriber, place your store in vacation mode and extend your handling time on all items to when you can get back to business.

eBay can also help by placing your store in vacation mode, taking down your listings and saving them in My eBay, and emailing your buyers. If you need customer service, please call eBay at 866-540-3229, or send email to [email protected]
eBay Radio reminds you that Harvey and Irma have also impacted buyers. Please be patient with customers from the affected region.
