its not the fact that you miss putting it on. Ebay will now hold your money if its not applied within your specified handling time. So if you are a busy person and slip up by mere hours or the next day your funds will be held.

Don't forget they state the expected delivery times also not you or i so thay make it up.

In Australia it can take a week in reality but they make it two weeks.

You have been dilligent and posted it on time but missed the window to apply the tracking is the issue many will suffer by.
