Shipping

I am getting slightly peeved as to when I make a purchase and then wait in limbo (twiddling thumbs) while the seller gets round to shipping the item, and me having to message them and say to them oh hopefully you will be shipping item soon etc! seem to have to remind them at least 50%of the time to do this.As soon as they get message its oh yes I am shipping today for you, sorry for delay. Or something similar. (Is that coincidence or just my imagination)
Every excuse under the sun it seems.
Be good idea for sellers to tell buyer if there is a delay and its bad for overseas purchases as they take long enough to get here let alone waiting for item to be actually shipped.

Michelle, how are you funding your paypal payments?

If the funds come from your bank account they can take a while to clear to the seller and they will not post till the funds clear.

Or 

 

There is a snow storm in Canada - where the best pet food is derived.

You must be able to pick them

 

Most sellers (at least the ones who post on the boards) post well within their handling time. But they're Australian. Have you checked the handling time, or do you assume they all post same/next day?

 

Of course OS sellers might be a bit tardy, given that 4pm here is midnightish in a lot of the US for example.

 

I'm sure your rodents pets can live for a few days on Australian food purchased from your local shop.

Who?  The OP or those of us that keep answering?

I suppose the answer to that is both.

Michelle, maybe you are just a little too anxious.

Most things I buy are sent within a day or two, arrive safely, and are as described.

I understand most people don't live and breath eBay (ie they have a life), so even up to a week for postage is acceptable, especially if they live in a remote area where they may only go to town once or twice a week.
