I've always wondered why eBay haven't introduced an auto-5 star rating for postage time that is reliant on lodgement time (there was mention of auto-5's some time ago, but for some unknown reason it involved delivery time, not postage time - i.e. it was granted if the buyer received their item within a certain time frame o_O), but I can't see how it would be too hard to implement an auto-5 if a parcel was scanned as lodged within the seller's stated handling time after payment, even if it was conditional on a couple of other parameters (not free post or anything like that, more like electronic payment methods were used to ascertain exact payment / clearance date).
