'did the item arrive by' date in feedback

[barney_rubbles]

when i go to leave fb for a seller, it asks 'did the item arrive by (date)'. So if i choose no even if i'm happy with the arrival timeframe, does it affect the sellers rating? if it does i would rather tell a white lie & say yes it arrived on time.

I thought we were talking about parcels that do have tracking. If they're put in a red box and none get scanned it could end up stressful for a lot of buyers further down the track. How does one reassure them that you posted it when there's no proof of it? I've bought from sellers with fabulous feedback and they were fluent liars so if there was no lodgment scan I'm afraid I'd get suspicious.

I was just pointing out that not all buyers get stressed over packages if they can't see updates all the time, which leads in to the point that not all sellers upload the tracking number to eBay, and some only upload tracking when there's been a scan event, so we can't presume that the system pdme_dolls uses is causing any buyers any stress at all. I expect that if their system was causing problems for them consistently, they might actually adjust it. 

Also, I personally find that the majority of articles I put in street boxes (that have tracking) get a processed at facility scan within about 24 hours. I know that is not the case for everyone, but perhaps it is often the case for pdme_dolls as well.

A lot of the criticisms levied at them have been formed around "what ifs", which is a little bit silly, JMHO.
