What if the delivery got late due to unavoidable postal delay on my first listing?

Im really worried and doubt that the item will receive to the buyer in between the exact time period. If not, what is the best thing to do at first ?

Issue a refund if the buyer opens an Item Not Received claim. Good luck.

Reach out to the buyer FIRST. Tell them when you shipped with updated tracking. Tell them it's in transit but appears to be arriving late. Some buyers are understanding. If they open an Item not received case, input tracking. Ebay will then allow several more days for the item to show delivered. If it is not delivered by the final day they set, you will have to issue a refund to the buyer.

Hopefully, you're not drop shipping from China. It can create many shipping delays. However, I see no sales history on your account.

Just curious:  How do you know that the item will be late to the buyer if you've not yet listed it?

Are you drop shipping from China?
