"Carrier reported late delivery" simply means the tracking showed the item arrived after eBay's estimated delivery date and there was no tracking event showing for lodgement within your handling time. 

 

Neither inolves any malicious intent on the part of carrier or buyer.  The carrier is not actually involved at all, it's just the tracking on their site that is referenced.


But this is my point - there was no tracking at all.     So why does the automated thingy decide it was late?
