Why is it that I have to pay right away but they can take their sweet old time shipping something? I always pay right away and sometimes end up waiting 2-4 days for an item to ship out. Some sellers lie about when they've shipped an order and tracking shows it did not go out when they said it did. Really hate being lied to.

All you need to worry about is the latest delivery estimate on the listing. Shipping within 3 days is nothing to complain about. All that matters is that the item arrives on or around the latest delivery estimate. The arguement against paying right away vs shipping time is like comparing applies to oranges; paying involves a few clicks and is done in a matter of seconds. Also, the tracking does not prove when the seller shipped. It shows only when the USPS did the acceptance scan, its not uncommon for them to do the scan a day after the package was dropped off.

Hi!
I highly disagree. Typical seller attitude.
Bought and paid for an item very early on 2/22/18. After some prodding the seller finally printed a shipping label. Fully expected it to go out to the USPS by Friday night.
Looks like it won't finally go out by Monday (sometime). FOUR DAYS AFTER THE ORDER HAS BEEN MADE.
Some sellers really need to get with it. Feedback will be appropriate.
Bye!

Monday is only two days from Thursday.

Some buyers need to buy a clue. Do you know what business days are? Monday is only the 2nd business day since you bought the item. Anything less than positive feedback will reflect poorly on you, not the seller.

"Typical seller attitude."
Another fact you seem unaware of..most sellers are buyers too,and see both sides of the spectrum.

Ebay does not count Saturday and Sunday as ship days.
What is the sellers handling time?
02-25-2018 03:47 PM
If the item was purchased Thurs and they ship it Monday, that's considered three days.
If the seller has a three day handling time, they are within their shipping time.
Some sellers don't ship every day, some only ship a couple days a week.

you cant depend on tracking to show when an item was shipped..Ive been selling here for eighteen years with one day shipping and handling , and I have had several packages not scanned until they arrived in the buyers state three or four days later.All that needs to concern you is you get the pkg within the estimated delivery date.

Actually, it's only 2 days and not 3.

No it’s considered two days. If the sellers handling time is 3 days then they have until the end of Tuesday to ship.

You're right, I was thinking Thursday would be the first day, but it would be Friday.

Because packaging it to make sure it doesn't break in transit takes time.
Would you rather have a fast and broken item? Or a slow and safely delivered item?

Now that everybody has chimed in, I'll toss this morsel out. I ordered a widget mid-day Thursday the 22nd and received it yesterday morning, the 24th. This was a 'half-way across the country' shipment too.
So, it certainly can happen, but it's all about the widget and the seller.
