It seems like eBay has discovered a new trick to increase the fees they levy. Normally, if you take your items to the Post Office to send, they get scanned in, proving that you dispatched them on time. When they're delivered late, it's okay because the scan proves when you dispatched them. By delaying the time that they remove the late deliveries from your metrics, eBay can now remove your Top Rated Seller status and charge you higher fees for the next month. After the assessment time has passed then they remove the late deliveries from your metrics but you will still be getting charged the higher fees for the rest of the month because they only assess your TRS eligibility before they've removed the unfair late delivery penalties. Snakes.
