If I can see an item has been posted off in a reasonable time (by which i mean within about 3 days), then if it is a day or so late, then that doesn't affect my feedback, I would still give top stars to a seller. But if an item's postage were to be delayed longer and then arrived late, I would ding the stars because in my opinion, it would then be the seller's fault it was late, not Aust Post's.

I don't recognise this concept of "posted off in a reasonable time" - it's either posted off within the seller's handling time, or it isn't.  It's not for the buyer to decide whether they think that handling time is reasonable or not - if you purchase from a seller, you are accepting that handling time - it's as simple as that.

Dinging a seller because you're unhappy with their specified handling time (which is what another member here was arguing for) is simply retarded, as is holding a seller responsible for an Aus. Post delay.

If a seller posts an item within the time promised in the lsting, they've done their job.
