    Perhaps he takes his packages to work with him.

    That's a good point. When I used to work early mornings I would wrap items up to about 5pm the day before and put that lot by the door ready for the morning. Anything paid after that would wait until the following day to be wrapped.

    I wouldn't be happy with the seller - you have 7 days to pay, under eBay rules, and for them to send so many invoices is just rude! :mad:

    Seller only posts on Thursdays? So if you buy something off him Thursday night you have to wait until the following Thursday for him to post it? Seems he wants to have his cake and eat it! :rolleyes:
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.

    Did the listing state this? What postage time does the listing say? It is not acceptable that they only post things on Thursday if they have not mentioned it before.

    They do have 7 days to post it out from payment...however if I were the buyer and hadn't been warned about their posting schedule I would certainly reflect this in the star rating.

    This is usually deduced from various other guidelines, for instance the fact that you can't start an item not received claim until day 7, plus the fact that a seller loses their seller protection (if using paypal) if they take longer than that to post.

    Soo
