After selling on ebay for over 2 decades, I have suddenly received 4 defects for late delivery  in the last month.   Australia post are consolidating loads between states, cities, town, etc due to the fuel shortage which is having an impact on delivery times.    Ebay should be stepping up to protect sellers.     The currently estimated delivery times being shown to a buyer on ebay are just incorrect.      There needs to be a note from ebay on the postage confirmation message to a buyer that they should expect delays for the next few weeks to months until the fuel situation is resolved.     Sellers should NOT be getting defects for something which is out of our control in the current situation.
