Rather confusing fleabay message

I just got a message congratulating me on winning an item with a postage value of £10.

It was an item of a type I've been buying for the last couple of weeks, but I was rather puzzled as I didn't think I was due to bid on anything with that much postage until Sunday.

Looking more closely I discovered that they were congratulating me for something I'd bought nine days ago and which had been delivered before the weekend just gone.

Total muppets! :D

    I get that quite often as I use a sniper most of the time.

    I've had messages a day after they should have been sent - possibly even two days, but Nine?

    I'd blame ebay rather than the seller. Ebay seem to have problems quite often in sending messages and emails in a timely fashion!

    Oh, I was definitely blaming ebay. It was from them that it originated.
