I don't understand what kind of solution you expect to see posted by eBay members by eBay members.

I have no idea to what the solution is
maybe ebay ( as the platform) should suggest not shipping via
USPS anymore?
I ordered something from Amazon (today)..it will be here on Tuesday....
free shipping ....
The book I ordered here from ebay 12 days ago....
its lost??? I guess?

Neither does anyone else.
Many ideas have been suggested, such as putting your store (if you have one) on vacation/time away, or choosing carrier other than USPS.
Go to the Shipping & Returns board, read any of the threads on the topic, and you'll find a number of additional suggestions in the hundreds of threads countless other people have already posted about it over the last three or four or more months.

Many thoughts posted.
Refund.
Request refund.
Communicate with buyer/seller.
Be patient.
Open missing mail search.
Open lost mail research.
Open lost mail claim.
Use a different carrier.
Read eBay announcements about "some" "seller protection" for late deliveries.
What kind of solution would you like?
01-15-2021 01:01 PM
some help??
01-15-2021 01:03 PM
some acknowledgment that is almost impossible the sell here?
failure of delivery is a big issue don't you think>
especially when Amazon is getting me my item on Tuesday?
01-15-2021 01:06 PM
hasn't this --your list---
made it almost impossible to sell here?

They did exactly that. On the shipping label page, as USPS was experiencing delays, eBay suggested using other carriers.
If your book is coming "media mail" , depending upon the distance, 12 days is not unusual. Now with the backlog that they are still experiencing, 12 days would be expected. Also .....lost?........ is it not getting scans? Even some Priority, and 1st Class is still delayed in some areas.

"hasn't this --your list---
made it almost impossible to sell here?"
Judging by the many, many sellers who are continuing to sell here, and the many, many sales made on this platform every day, I would say "No, it has not made it almost impossible to sell here."

Good grief.
You are not the first person to post this topic--you're more like the 10,000th person. All that you're saying has been said 10,000 times. 10,000 previous posters have acknowledged that it's almost impossible to sell here. 10,000 people agree that failure of delivery is a big issue--myself included.
To compare Amazon to eBay in the context of delivery is just silly. Amazon has warehouses full of merchandise and thousands of employees in its shipping department working around the clock. It has its own cargo fleet of aircraft and its own delivery system on the ground.
eBay has some schmuck like me, sitting in my basement packaging up items with bubble wrap and duct tape, and waiting for the mail carrier to arrive.
As they say, it's like comparing apples and oranges.

no
your not hearing me
I am ok with the book being 12+++++ days out...
I am not ok with something I shipped to the buyer for $$$$$
being 10 days out.
