            I post the next working day after payment at the latest, often the same day if there's time.
 Same as me then, just I'm waiting for something I bought and paid for on the 2nd and was only marked as dispatched on the 9th. Yeah i know people don't always use this but I don't have the game yet, so it was clearly when they posted it.
 There was nothing on this listing either to say they can't post on certain days etc...and ebays delivery estimate was the 9th.
 I just personally feel this is too long a time to take to post.
 Yet i bought another version of the game 2 days later and only got it today, but it was posted the day after I won it (xmas post has began haha).The Fields are Green, The sky is blue, the River Nene goes winding through, The market square is Cobblestoned, It shakes the old dears to their bones, A finer town you'll never see, A finer town they'll never be, Big city lights don't bother me, Northampton Town I'm proud to be!0

            A week to post unless it's on the listing is far too long. What's their despatch dsr like?0

            I do endeavour to post as promptly as possible and try to get my listings to end Tues/Weds because I can only post Thurs, Fri & Sat (unless I make an effort to get out of work early on a Monday/Tues)

            I post same day if paid before 3pm, next day if after that.0

            Hi
 I post the same day if possible or the next day if not. I find buyers are not happy to wait too long and will leave lower ratings otherwise.0

            Two days maximum.
 Despite doing this, charging actual postage and packaging cost (or less), I still get low DSR from idiots - I'm currently on 4.6 on postage & packing charges for some reason. I guess some buyers don't have a clue about current postage prices and expect everything to be delivered at Amazon, Littlewoods or Very.co.uk prices!
 The worst ones are the idiots who win an item on a weekday, don't pay until Sunday and the moan when it doesn't arrive on Monday!!British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0

            I state dispatch within 2 days on my listings (and I use 2nd class) and I usually dispatch same or next day. That keep smy stars at 4.9 although on very rare occasions it will go to 5 for a week or so.

            I state within 2 working days, but post everything either the same day as payment, or the following day. I also state economy delivery (3-5 days) but actually post by 2nd class business post so they get it faster.
 I have just been given a 3 star for despatch time. Checked and it means neither fast nor slow ????
 Also been given 3 x 3 stars for communication. In feedback of over 6000, never had this before, so no idea what buyers are marking.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever 0 0

            I state I post with 3 working days but never take more than 2. I also say I post 2nd class but usually send first. Buyers seem happy, my dispatch dsr is 4.9
 On the other had I bought a dress on the 5th which has not been dispatched yet but as I did it on my mobile I can't see their dispatch times and there was nothing in the listing.S.P.C member 1662 - target £3000
