Importing eBay transactions into Mondial Relay is impossible
Summary: *retrodream* shares an ongoing issue with importing eBay orders into Mondial Relay, which prevents orders from being grouped and extra insurance from being added via Packlink. Although this problem was significant, customer support promised a quick fix, and *retrodream* confirms that the issue was resolved quickly, which contrasts with a similar previous outage that lasted much longer. lingma85 advises going directly through Mondial Relay to avoid problems related to Packlink.
Hello,
Since this morning, it’s been impossible to import Ebay orders into Mondial Relay.
This problem is unfortunately recurring.
And since I have to combine 5 orders from one buyer into a single shipment, I can’t do it via Packlink, which doesn’t let me take out additional coverage above €25, even though I want €125 insurance.
I contacted customer service this morning, who told me that this problem was being resolved and that a return to normal was planned by tomorrow. Do you believe that? The last similar outage was 6 months ago and it took Ebay 10 days to resolve the problem.

Forget Packlink and go directly through Mondial Relay...
To do that, you just need to link your eBay account to M.R.-----> eBay by Mondial Relay - Send your parcels to Lockers and Relay Points - Mondial Relay
You will have fewer problems than with the eBay shipping platform...

OP1 year agoHello and thank you for your reply,
As the title of my post indicated, since yesterday importing Ebay transactions into Mondial Relay was impossible, my 2 accounts having been linked for a long time, Ebay confirmed to me that it was a general issue that had been reported by many users.
Good news, since this morning it’s back to normal; for once Ebay seems to have been responsive and the incident will only have lasted 24 hours. The last time (September 2024) it lasted almost 10 days!
Have a good day.
