I forgot to add this 'The reason for the late delivery defect was due to no acceptance scan on the tracking, so the system detected this was dispatched late.' 
The item was delivered 1 day before the EDD so how can the system 'detect this was dispatched late' ??? WE all know the EDD are a mystery equation known only to ebay but if my item was delivered before the EDD how on earth can I get a late delivery defect?
