Ebay handling time "adjustment" is at it again.

[bigdeals.etc]

So FYI this issue is alive and well, still going strong.

In my other account I changed many listings to 5 day handling. Made a bunch of sales (ship by 8/3), and I see in the order details that ebay is showing the buyers an ETA of 8/4. These are to cross country states like Delaware and North Carolina. All these buyers opted for First Class. I wonder what ETA ebay would show had they opted for Priority Mail or Express. Buyers are gonna get peeeeeeeeved.

Gonna have a he11 of a time with this issue when I go on vacation in a couple of weeks.

It's so frustrating! eBay looks at historical shipping time. I have a certain number of listings with longer handling, yet eBay shows an ETA based on 1 day handling because most of my listings have 1 day handling so that's my "historical" shipping time for the bulk of my sales.

Well, yeah.  But, look on the bright side - after enough dings, your history will show a much longer 'historical' handling time.

Don't know if this is right or wrong, but my clock doesn't start running until the $$$ is in my account.  I write my buyers & tell them I will ship within 3 days after eBay clears their payment.  Haven't had a problem.  I've found that people just like to be kept informed.

Really hate to hear this glitch is still alive and kickin us hard.  

We had 2 today that had to ship today, even though they came to us after 1 am our time, but still within "e-Bay" time.  Good thing I was not traveling for work today and we got them there really close to the PO close, but still scanned in.

Too many people must be getting the extra 10% on FVFs so they're working to discourage us from using the 1 day handling?  lol  (joking, of course.....I think)
