So, I have been with Ebay now for a couple of years, buying and selling. For the most part, I have always had a good experience on both sides of the coin as a customer and a seller, but I have encountered something new. Seven days ago, I had won an auction for an item, and I paid for it almost immediately, within a few seconds. That's one of my things on here, I often pay on the spot for the things I want. I had no communication with the seller until this morning, when he/she said that they were sorry for the delay, that my item will ship today. So, I am sitting here in my house, and it is after four p.m. Eastern time, which is the time zone that I live in, and my item still has yet to ship. So, seven full days now since paying and I can't even report anything to Ebay until tomorrow because it's still in their 'estimated shipping' and arrival time frame. I am more than confident that the seller has had my money now for a few days and perhaps has even spent it. As a seller myself, I have a three-business day processing time for all my orders, and I need every bit of it sometimes when my sales volume is up, but seven days, and perhaps more, since my item is showing no signs of shipping even now? Why is it necessary to do this to your buyers?
