If an item is £10 or less without tracking and not showing as delivered,then if a buyer leaves feedback then you will get paid after 2 days.This is the only time feedback is taken into account to release payments.
As for royal mail then customers services will only release the payment if the Royal mail website in this case, shows as delivered,as the ebay site is having issues updating.
If no tracking online then you have to wait 14 days
