one positive change since buyer's protection fee and simple delivery

Finally, ebay is going to introduce an automatic positive feedback which will help our sales. "Positive feedback: From late April, you’ll automatically receive positive feedback for tracked transactions delivered on time, where no feedback has been left within 7 days and no issues are reported, so you get the recognition you deserve. "

Umm, take a look at the SD listings that have been appearing since yesterday.

eBay were saying 2-3 day delivery time in the thumbnail listings, again in the specific item listing and as of yesterday exact delivery dates were quoted on BIN listings as 2-3 April.

That's for standard, not express.

I've been using Royal Mail 48 Tracked a long time and whilst some do get through in 3 days, many don't.

Also there's the small matter of them telling us that we had 3 days to send things.  

Not with the EDD's they are quoting we don't. Wed have to send it next day to stand the slightest chance of it arriving on time.

So it makes their automatic positive feedback for on time delivery kind of hollow. A nice empty promise.

I'm not sure what you mean. I send everything tracked 24 now and items arrive within 1 working day including Saturday.

They may do and you have been lucky.

Outside of Special Delivery all of the Royal Mail services fall under an umbrella programme where they allow 10 working days after something enters their network to complete delivery.

That's why Tracked 24 has a "delivery aim" not a guarantee.

So as soon as that side hits you, you lose automatic positive feedback and probably get negative for late delivery.

But that is all eBay's doing.

If they allow sellers 3 days to send, how can they be quoting delivery times of 3 days?

Think about it ..

[fashionista27]

So is 3 days to post mandatory now? I do my best to post the next day for tracked 24 delivery now but I have some items that I prefer to post later.

[andha-21]

I think someone else needs to try to explain this to you.

eBay have been leaving automatic 'positive' feedback for some time. Unfortunately unless they word it differently to the current "This seller successfully completed an order", the feedback also covers cancelled orders & transactions that weren't quite as they should have been. On the rare occasion when I buy now I look first to see if it's in the FB & I avoid buying from them as my experiences were far from satisfactory with those sellers left eBays false positive FB.
