FAKE DELIVERY TIMES POSTED BY EBAY

significant time gap between an alleged delivery at 11:30 AM--claimed by eBay at 1:05 PM .... and the actual REAL  delivery from carrier after 3 PM.  Somebody is trying to game the system with "impressive" delivery times???

Where are you seeing those times: 11:30 am, 1:05 pm and "after 3 PM"? Some eBay pages show Pacific time while others will show your local time zone.

The delivery scan time comes from USPS - no one can change it - so no one is trying to game the system. As already mentioned, eBay displays some times in local time and some times in Pacific time.

There is no impressive delivery times. Sellers are only held to shipping items based on their listings. As long as seller gets the scan showing they shipped on time, that is the only "time" that is looked at. Then they just need a delivered scan, but no time stamp is required....

Ebay is only passing on info from the Carrier; and nobody really cares or gets any brownie points for having a delivery done by a 'certain time' of day. In fact, deliveries are only 'estimated' by a 'certain few days' as shown on all listings (example:  estimated delivery August 8 to 11)
