I just ordered an item from a Chinese seller, as I've done many, many times before on a different account. I know from experiance that sometimes an order never shows up and you have to take further action through ebay to get a resolution. The problem is you can't start any action until the end of the 'delivery estimate' is up. I have noticed these delivery estimates getting wider and wider, but I've just noticed that my delivery estimate for this sale is between 22nd March and the 10th of May - that is nearly 8 weeks! How are sellers able to list something with such a wide date range. Basically if the item hasn't arrived within 4 weeks it's never going to arrive, but I'll have to either wait another 4 weeks to get ebay to do anything about it or lodge a paypal dispute instead. Is there an actual policy on this practice or do I just have to wear it?
