Anyone else here have this problem? Everyone who bought from us over the weekend (after Saturday cut-off) and was offered either 2nd class large letter or RM 48 expected their item Monday morning! I'd be laughing inanely if it wasn't so distressing and all the ramifications!

Yep, Stuff sold today 2nd class with a 3 day despatch is showing an estimated delivery of tomorrow. I was going to complain to ebay but they either don't care or don't understand and I'm fed up of wasting my time.ballisticbrian said:Anyone else here have this problem?

I usually send same or next day and had someone message me just a few weeks ago asking me why their item hadn't arrived as they needed it urgently - I was still within the time frame for sending it- although I had actually sent it that morning.
I have actually switched a few of my LLs over £15 and over 100g to SD on my private account as perhaps if ebay start getting these 'where's my item' questions (and yes for SD items I always ask them to redirect their enquiry to ebay) then ebay might take notice.
I have just finished an ebay listing, again 2nd class LL 3 day despatch - the listing shows as 'Estimated between Sat, 15 Nov and Wed, 19 Nov'I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
