OP5 months agoI get lots of deliveries and I do not want text messages evert time someone is thinking of delivering something - the ebay messaging service is quite adequate
ebay needs to stop this or I will need to take my number dwn - but how will that affect two step verification

Mentor5 months agoAs explained, it's the delivery companies sending you those messages, nothing to do with eBay, or the seller, so they have no say in those messages sent.
Go to the carriers website, see if there's an ' unsubscribe ' to their messages.

OP5 months agoebay must have given the carrier my phone number - very very few people have my number
my wife, a friend, bank google ebay (probably about 10 people organisations in total)

Mentor5 months agoIt isn't sellers who text buyers about deliveries, it's usually the carrier that's delivering them.
Why would you want to prevent text messages about deliveries? Deliveries recorded as attempted because no-one was aat home and parcels left on the doorstep and stolen are two of the biggest risks for buyers on eBay. Both can result in the buyer losing their item and their money, with no protection from eBay.
Texting buyers with info about expected delivery times can be a huge help in avoiding this.

Mentor5 months agoEbay tells you when dispatched, why would sellers need to text you, the correct method of contact is ebay messages.
