What does postage time have anything to do with the seller?

[gelandangan]

Aust Post are late in their delivery of the items, as the result seller got low rating on their DSR.

So what is the logic in this?

I sent items as soon as I could which is usually within 12 hours from the time the payments arrived, yet in the DSR, I have a few 1 and 2 star on postage time.

Are we the seller being punished for the lapse done by others?

I understand .About every 3rd letter/envelope parcel i receive are not stamped with the cancellation stamp.
Also, I pop the stamp on and place in the mail box where/when and if it gets stamped with a date is unkown to me.

There you go.

You are posting using a method that cannot attract Paypal seller protection. So you self-insure. And accept the consequences. Which you have chosen.

Sorry i dont understand your reply to comment? I was agreeing with imastawka about receiving stamped letters/envelopes that dont have the cancellation stamp. And outlining that when i post in a mail box i wouldnt know if it got stamped.
I rarely have a problem with postage time complaints or missing items ( been selling for 9 years now) Only recently have i had a rise in inquiries by customers as to how long postage is taking and considering all the fires that are occuring i'm assuming it's because of that 🙂

Thank you, anaksa.  Thought I was a voice crying in the wilderness

for a while.   Someone up there even told me it was illegal to re-use stamps.

Der!!  Wish people would read the whole thread before throwing in comments.

I said, "if I could be bothered I could re-use" them. I know it's illegal!!

Dave,

  I don't think the consequences of no tracking is important, if your

item is only worth $2.   I'm sure most people could cover that.
