I recently had a purchase, where the seller had a estimated delivery date which was not met, when I enquired I was informed they were away, and the Ebay ad had been flagged.
I looked at the Ad and yes there was a small print note high on the left hand corner of the ad, whilst the estimated delivery date was clearly evident in bold large print. below the item for sale
As a result I cancelled the order as instead of having to wait 7 days to receive it would have been 30 days.
This was an annoying waste of my time.
Why does Ebay allow absent sellers to list and item for sale with an Estimated delivery date prominently shown, when the seller has no intention of meeting this delivery time.
Why is a seller even allowed to list on Ebay at a time when they are away and cannot despatch the goods as advertised on the Ebay site.
I believe Ebay needs to have a look at this practice, if they wish to retain their buyers.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well well well
Apparently , if you believe ebay's blurb when I just left someone feedback for an item they bought last week
Tracking shows this item was delivered Fri, 26 Jan
Apparently
(Dear ebay, we both know that was a public holiday)

Yes I have had the same problem. The SELLERS should be held responsible or poor or some cases no action at all when they completely ignore sending paid items on time. Ebay also have a duty to ensure there policies are adhered to. Not be like the sellers and ignore the buyers bought items.

This thread has not seen the light of day for over 4 YEARS. Please check dates before dragging something up and not really adding anything to it.
ETA's are purely Guesstimates inserted by Ebay not the seller. Rarely do they ever mean much. It is an estimate only.

Why do you believe sellers should be responsible for the estimated delivery date that EBAY put in (as explained numerous times)
Or for delays due to Australia Post issues?
Please kindly explain how you expect sellers to control and change these things
eBay give you the tools needed if items do not arrive by the time that EBAY guess they will
Have you used them?
You have time to drag up a four year old thread, you have time to get basic facts right
You say ebay have a duty to ensure 'there' (sic) policies are adhered to but you seem to have no clue what those polices are
