Non arival of posted item

Just letting sellers know that "did the item arive" (by such and such date) has now been rolled out on to the app.

Dont ask what happened to the header, dunno what happened there.

I found myself typing in a message to a buyer this evening "In order to meet eBay's shipping requirements...." 😞

I have a few buyers every now and then where the circumstances are a little different to the standard buy > post scenario, eg recently I had a buyer send something back for customisation, plus purchase other items in the mean time, so to save them postage etc I waited until everything was ready and shipped it all out together, other times - because eBay can't get their darn site and/or apps to work properly  - I need to confirm certain details befor I can process and ship out an order.

This BS is likely either going to result in more orders shipped out that may not be quite right, and/or more cancelled orders. Awesome for buyers. 

(Sorry, very annoyed at eBay over this uneccessary metric - not directed at you in any way 🙂 ).

I can understand were you are coming from with the custom jobs you do.

I was realy hoping that the "did item arive" thing was not going to the app, it just seems like a "hay we want to put the pressure on sellers with our guessimate delivery date(s)".

Thats sorta one way i take it, the other way i take it ill most likley get a slap for writing it.

Also i dont get why it has to be there, i mean seriously, the buyer gives feedback, id take that as the item arived in all cases, (except sellers that get feedback as soon as a purchase is made)
