In a hurry? then select 1st class option!

I am fed up with buyers checking out and selecting 2nd class, then sending a message saying 'please post asap, needed by the weekend'

Why don't you select 1st class?!

    I got fed up of this too. I now have (paid for) first class as the default option with 2nd class postage as free. So they have to actively choose the slower option. I point this out in the listing. It makes me less appealing on price, but it saves the DSRs a little.

    I don't bother paying for 1st, as I find most of the time, 2nd class arives just as quickly.

    You expect buyers to read your listing? No wonder you worry about your rating, Have you met ebay users? :rotfl:

    I advertised a car with a ton of pictures in minute detail. Buyer asks what colour is it?

    I also find that those who are slow paying are also the ones who pay on day 4 and then 5 minutes later tell you it must be posted today as they need it tomorrow.
