This whole new deficit system is desigined to get rid of small to medium dellers as ebay know we do not have the turn over in sales like the big chain stores such as Hardly Normal. They know if will eventually catch up with us and we will go down in the searches sooner or later, they just keep making it harder and harder................

I believe this too. Big organizations will have standing daily pick ups to verify shipping. You need high turnover to justify doing that.

In reality big organizations often actually have slower shipping times. While many small sellers pride themselves on quick personal service.

The other reason for having lodged tracking is i am now getting an increase in demands to know why I haven't shipped an item yet (as opposed to has it been posted) simply because it doesn't have lodgement scan, buyers know that initiated does not mean in transit, they are expecting lodgement scans. I believe this is also a motivation behind Ebays policy no matter how impractical. Buyers want to know its real status from start to finish.
