Same day Shipping - with Handling time 4 days!?

Hi, maybe someone know the problem:

I selected handling time 4 days, but when product is on sale, ebay shows that I offer shipping the same day! What's wrong?

Same day Shipping - with Handling time 4 days!?

There is a glitch on ebay right now that is showing same day handling on the buy it now screen but it is only showing it to people in some countries. You're in Latvia and you'll see that the delivery time says   'varies for items shipped from an international location'.  Buyers in most countries will see a specific arrival time but there are a few countries such as Latvia and Finland that just show that the arrival time 'varies'.   Buyers in those countries will be the only ones that see the same day shipping message.  It is a problem but not a huge one as few buyers are going to be from those countries. eBay is aware of the problem.

 

If you want to see which countries have the arrival time varies message, go to the shipping tab in one of your listings and change your location and then click on see rates.

Your 4-day handling is used by eBay to determine your performance standards as tabulated on this page.

 

But, eBay uses your actual (historical) shipping performance to communicate to customers as to what to expect.

The op is a new seller so doesn't have a historical shipping performance.  The problem isn't showing up in their actual delivery time, it is showing as 'same day shipping' as a message in the box where the buy it now and add to cart buttons are. (is that called the buy box?)  You won't see it in the US unless you change your location and it will show up on listings that are fixed price, not auctions.  A lot of Canadian sellers are seeing the same thing on .com  and we think that we have figured out  when it shows up as explained in my  first post to the op.

It may not be a good idea to have started your auctions at one cent as they could sell for that amount. If those items do sell for one cent and you cancel them after the sale, you could lose your selling privileges here.  It is usually best to start an auction at the least amount you are willing to sell it for.  I think that you can revise the starting price on those auctions if you don't have any bids.
