Ship by date is later than expected delivery date.

Who runs a business this way?  If the Seller ships April 9th, how can the buyer expect to get it as early as April 7th?

I would love to see the algorithm used to come up with these dates.

I think most sellers, if the item was bought on a Thursday, they would try to get it shipped by Friday.

If it was shipped Friday, it could probably make it to the buyer on the 7th.

Want to wish everyone a Safe and Happy Independence Day.

Well, you sold the item on the 3rd, and the listing states that you have a 4-day Handling time and Priority shipping. If you mailed the package on the date of sale or perhaps 1 day later, an April 7th delivery date is possible. If you drag things out until the 9th before shipping, then April 12th is a possibility.

EBay is going to provide projected delivery dates that are what buyers, in today's ecommerce world, would expect. That is what it takes to close a lot of these sales.

Step up and get it shipped asap.
