From here, you’ll also be able to let us know if the item hasn’t arrived on time, or start a return if there’s something wrong.
If you purchased your item as a guest, the order won’t appear in your purchase history. You can find your order details in your order confirmation email.
Your order confirmation email
Every time you purchase an item on eBay, you’ll receive an order confirmation email letting you know your order is complete and that your item should soon be on its way.
Your order confirmation email will contain your estimated delivery date, any available tracking information, and your order number.
If you can’t find it, check your junk folder. If it’s not in your junk folder, go to the Account - opens in new window or tab section of My eBay to confirm that your registered email address is correct. You’ll also find the information sent in the email in your purchase history - opens in new window or tab order details.
Tip
Each item also has its own unique item number. Sometimes called an item ID, the item number identifies each distinct item in your eBay order.
