Ebay is getting worse and very frustrating with letting sellers get away with falsehoods. When I buy an item I look at the postage times and estimates. This together with the price help me decide whether to buy an item or not. Increasingly now and this has happened with 6 out of eight of my last purchases, the seller advertises 4-5 day delivery (example) and as soon as I buy it the estimated delivery is suddenly 20 days away. Or the seller leaves the item as awaiting dispatch, waites for you to ask if there is a problem and then the seller "provides" a tracking number, which cannot be used because the courier hasn't collected the parcel yet and doesn't for weeks..This is absolute dishonesty from the sellers and they are being allowed to get away with it by Ebay.It has completely put me off of using Ebay anymore.Four out of the last eight purchases have had to refund me after waiting 2 weeks for the seller to sort out their dispatch problems.Ebay need to ensure that the seller actually has stock of the item they are selling.Ebay then need to enforce that the seller advertises an estimated dispatch target, i.e. 1 -2 days from order.Ebay then need to ensure that when a tracking number is provided, the courier collects the parcel on the same day.
