The longer it takes to update delivery, the longer it takes to release your funds, the longer it takes to release your funds, the longer the funds are accruing interest in eBay's accounts, and not yours. Only, in your account, it doesn't get chance to accrue interest, because you have bills to pay. Quite simple, really, it's corporate greed, that removes the grease from the wheels of trade. When they were less greedy, you got a system that worked for you, updating in real-time and releasing your funds. Now, the lag, the delay, works well for them. That's probably why they chose Evri, because their systems are famous for these lags. I love my local Evri guy; Simon is honest, efficient, and can be trusted 100%. But, their website is a joke, and, just today, I discovered they have completely changed the path taken when you click on tracking from Purchase History. Instead of automatically taking you to the page where it said either "We're Expecting It", "We've Got It", "On Its Way", or "Out For Delivery" (giving you the time-frame), it takes you to an Evri "Track" page, where, you have to have copied and pasted the tracking number, in order to input it yourself, whereupon it says in red underneath, some bunk about not being able to track. This constitutes another obstacle/ delay in updating tracking. They really do have it all sewn up - unless you badger eBay for your funds once delivery has been made, they'll hold on to them for a lot longer than they did before. No wonder they have seen churn of disgruntled sellers in such large numbers in the last 12 months, and, no doubt, there will be yet more sellers leaving for other platforms this year, too. Why should eBay care about that, when they are still making such a lot of money for themselves? Answer is, they don't care, and things won't change for the better for sellers - this is the end of the road. You'll either put-up and shut-up, or leave - and they don't care which. Happy New Year (!).
