Recently went on holiday last month and put store on holiday mode on the 17th July till the 27th of July yet ebay were showing potential buyers estimated delivery of 26th of July to 1st Aug. 

Why are ebay displaying a estimated delivery date before the seller is even back? It would mean I would of had to dispatch items around the 24th for it to get there on the 26th before I was even back off holiday. 

On my other store I changed the dispatch days to 10 days, obviously with this the date keeps moving the closer to the end of the holidays. Customers are less likely to order due to the longer delivery estimate. 

Which ever way a seller chooses it is not accurate or reflects the expected delivery times which ebay keep telling sellers to match in regards to dispatch and chosen delivery mothod. It seems the more ebay keep trying to manage everything the more complicated they make it and the more things go wrong.
