    I don't think it's inconsistent - I've had this issue recently and was told that Ebay couldn't close the case until the date when they are allowed to intervene but that as soon as it ticked over they'd close the case in my favour. 
    I’ve had cases closed whilst I’ve been the phone to eBay, within a few hours of them being opened. 
    Recently?

    They used to but going back 18 months or so they started with this 3 business day lark, probably to cut down on CS time which is a pain as if the buyer closes the case rather than CS I don't think you'd get the auto feedback removal that applies when you "win" by eBay closing the case. 
    I’m trying to think how long it’s been since I had an INR where I had proof of delivery, it could be over 18 months ago, it certainly wasn’t very recently. 

    My current INR case as a buyer is open and I thought that the seller would get it closed immediately as he uploaded proof of delivery but it still shows as having an escalation date of the 30th.
