Very slow delivery times since the changes on Feb 4th.

[*maetrix*]

Anyone else noticing this?...before the changes were brought in i'd order something and it would be on my doorstep within 2-5 days max...now seem to be waiting well over a week for pretty much everything.

Are sellers thinking "soddit,if i've got to wait for my payments to come in then i'm not rushing to send stuff out".....?

I would have thought that sellers would be posting out quicker to get their money quicker.

Me too but it's noticeable that deliveries have become painfully slow over the last 3/4 weeks.

Have you read this announcement from ebay 

New Simple Delivery features, community events & other launches landing this March .Could be better for sellers .Since the waiting for payment came in I have been sending my items tracked 24 /48  but this new announcement will be better for me .

Yeah,i'm not buying all this new "simple delivery" claptrap...have ordered approx 8 or 9 things over the last 2 weeks & pretty much all of them are now running late...checking items on my purchases page & ebay are telling me items should've been delivered 2 days ago,check the tracking & the delivery company (eg yodel / royal mail) are saying it's not being delivered for another 2 days..I could understand it if it was 1 or 2 items but this is happening with nearly every order.

*Would just like to add to this post that for the 3rd time in as many weeks an item that i've bought has not been delivered...I reckon this is something that happens roughly 3 or 4 times a year but for it to happen 3 times in 3 weeks is too much of a coincidence & makes me wonder whether some sellers are trying to "pull a fast one" by getting RM or whoever to refund them for items that have supposedly gone "missing in the post".

Anyone else noticing this occurrence with purchases recently?
