USPS Holiday Deadlines You might want to post these in your stores

https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2023/1010-usps-holiday-shipping-and-mailing-deadli...

 

For me, the most important are:

 

GA and First Class (Envelope): Dec 16

Priority: Dec 18

Priority Express: Dec 20

 

By the way, Christmas falls on a Monday this year.

If only there was an easy way to add a hard to miss customizable banner for buyers. Even if it was as simple as "select Priority Express or this will arrive after Xmas" or "Arrives before the Holiday" or "Arrives after the holiday". Some other websites figured this out years ago and do not require bulk edits or buyer heading to a sellers store.

@smart_home_buyer  I agree with you. One thing I've done the last few Christmases...but it is of limited usefulness....is I've used the Store Home Page banner to post something like this graphic:

 

Shipping Deadlines BannerShipping Deadlines Banner

 

If you are not familiar with the store home page banner, you can look at my current store homepage, which has a Halloween banner.  But of course, this only helps if people go to the store home page. I'm not sure how ebay would feel about adding it to a listing's photo gallery, so that each listing would have a graphic like this in the gallery. Also, I'm not sure if there is a way to bulk add images....

Could also do something similar with the store billboard at the top of the store homepage....but same limitation....only people actually on the store home page will see it

@smart_home_buyer  I might be wrong, but I think last year ebay did put a reminder in listings as we got closer to the deadlines. Just how much notice buyers gave it, I couldn't say.

 

I've tried to convince ebay to give us more customization both for individual listings and for stores, but my sense is ebay does not want to provide us with the tools to effectively communicate with our buyers.

devon@ebay  Could you find out: what steps will ebay be taking to ensure buyers know about the carrier shipping deadlines?
