Royal Mail no longer reliable

In view of the failure by Royal Mail to deliver my last four purchases from eBay I look worriedly at potential future purchases. There is an item that I really would like, but is there any point bidding if Royal Mail won't be bothering to deliver the thing?
As for the items that haven't been delivered, I don't see why either the seller or buyer should lose out. I ask that eBay deal with Royal Mail's abject failure to meet their obligations.

I see you tagged estimated dates. Is it just that they delivered later than eBay estimated delivery times? Or that they didn't deliver at all? If it is eBay ETA, then ignore these! Many people have complained about them being unreliable at the moment.

If it is undelivered items, did you speak to your local Postie? Or raise a complaint each time with Royal Mail? Yes, it takes a bit of time, but is worth sorting if there is a problem with your parcel deliveries. Good luck!
