This has happened once and the items were never delivered. It appears to be happening again. This practice appears to encourage and make it easy for bad sellers
Hi shatojak1 and welcome to the forum. Very good point too. Below in the spoiler is a discussion about this issue. You'll see how things used to be.
I have just waited and received a parcel, 1 week off 2 months due to the delays we are experiencing. While it may get better somewhat, things will probably never be the same. Anyway, with the parcel I received this week, I only have a few days to give feedback and I would like to reward the seller with positive feedback. But if an item is defective then what am I going to do??? And I have to thouroughly check items first.
I can see bad sellers taking advantage of this. Some will for sure! Also good sellers need to be rewarded with good feedback that many rely on. That's hard to do.
My Post lady said t me that some people have been waiting 3 months for their parcels. of course if they are eBayers then their option to leave feedback is gone when the parcel arrives. It also makes it hard to negotiate with a difficult, dishonest or even an honest seller who isn't good at fixing issues.

With Corona affecting postage Ebay should go back to 3 months time to leave feedback instead of 2
It used to be 3 months a ways back in the 2000s. Over the last few years I have had some difficult-to-deal-with sellers, and to get a problem reciified it has taken a long time. At least three have taken a very very long time. Two of them took longer than two months to resolve.
Now we have this viirus problem, some postal services have slowed down. A non eBay transaction had to be cancelled and me refunded. It was from the UK. Then last week, 3 days off of 2 months, the item arrived. I have informed seller and will refund later this week.
So, in light of what is going on, I think eBay should change it back to 3 months instead of the current 2 months to leave feedback. What are your thoughts?
