eBay

I was printing up a few labels tonight and saw it in my drop-down list as an available shipping day. I don't know about you but I'm not shipping that day 😕

Didn't we JUST have this problem with the LAST holiday?! 😕

Because eBay programmers are too lazy to google for "USPS 2017 Holidays"?

gracieallen01 · ‎11-22-2017

Nah.

It's because Thanksgiving is a USA holiday.

In other countries, it is business as usual.

It isn't a holiday for the programmers, or CS, so why should it be for anyone else?

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

Most retail stores are open.

Shippers run Friday and Saturday, so a package can be in the stream within a few hours even if marked 'shipped' tomorrow. (Though packages should only be marked 'label created' by the system here until actually scanned in by a carrier/shipper.)

There are other search engines to use when seeking information.

OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Irrelevant. It is an official USPS holiday, not a business day, and that matters for seller eBay metrics.

Shippers run Friday and Saturday, so a package can be in the stream within a few hours even if marked 'shipped' tomorrow. (Though packages should only be marked 'label created' by the system here until actually scanned in by a carrier/shipper.)

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

There are other search engines to use when seeking information.

You got one that returns "alternative facts" results?

Either OP was mistaken, or eBay fixed things since 11/21:

There will be no eBay labels printed with a Thursday ship date.

That's what I'm seeing, too: Today, Friday, Saturday.

Crisis adverted - they fixed it! (this time LOL)

So they fixed it. Messed up my planned post.

Was not listed as a holiday by a programmer who's offended that May Day isn't a holiday.

>>So they fixed it. Messed up my planned post.

Post it anyway. Was it a rant? eBay accidentally fixing something correctly (after the community/sellers pointed it out) shouldn't result in loss of a good rant.

>>Was not listed as a holiday by a programmer who's offended that May Day isn't a holiday.

Or maybe doesn't know what a holiday is from living in the eBay codepit ("It puts the code in the basket or it gets the hose again")
