eBay Ignoring My Stated Number of Days for Dispatch

[downsizingxs]

I always post items as soon as possible, but have a 3 working days dispatch stated in my listings as insurance against unexpected delays.

I sold an item around 5pm on Friday and when I did the first click on 'Get Label' it said I had to dispatch by Sunday!! I was forced to wait till today to actually purchase the label so it now says Monday.

On Friday it should have said by Wednesday which is the third working day.

Anyone else had the same problem?

Can you not just wait to get label when you are ready to dispatch?

Well known problem with dispatch date.

Order received this morning, Monday,  for same day postage but ebays page says post by Wednesday.

Just check your late delivery list at the end of the month and argue if it shows incorrect info.

85% of items showing as "late delivery" on my account have been removed when I have spoken to ebay.

It's a waste of everyone time but important to keep the list accurate.
