Possibly better wording would be "did the seller post within their stated handling time?"


That would be better wording providing there is a way to see the sellers handling time.

 

All I could find on a listing was the info I put there myself as buyer instructions via a "Policy".

 

eBay say they include handling time in their ETA calculation but don't appear to state it.

 

They do say this however:

 

" Estimated delivery dates include seller's handling time, origin postcode, destination postcode and time of acceptance and will depend on postage service selected and receipt of cleared payment. Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods". 

(my italics)

 

So eBay reserve the right to be wrong and admit that AP may not be as quick as anticipated.

 

Yet they are more than willing to penalise us if things go awry.

 

I would have thought a large American multinational would be a lot more ethical lol.
