Maybe it's just me, but I find it very misleading and just plain wrong when you check your purchase history and see that an item has shipped, but when you click on the tracking number, all it says is that a tracking number has been provided. That does not necessarily mean that the item shipped. All it means is that electronic information was sent to the post office, UPS, Fed Ex or any other ship method that the seller has decided to use, and they printed a label. That is all. The carrier does not have physical posession of the item yet. For example, last night, I purchased an item. Now mind you, it was a Sunday, late in the evening, but a few hours later, the item showed as shipped.On a Sunday? Really? Post offices and places like Fed Ex drop locations and UPS locations are closed on Sundays. Checking the item this morning, no difference. No movement, no pick up or posession scan. I've had this happen MANY times before in my years here on Ebay and I just don't think it's right. I always pay for my items in a timely matter and I feel that shipping should be the same. I've had it to where it was over a week, still showing the same status of tracking number provided with no movement or pick up scan. I feel like this needs to change and sellers be held accountable for this.
