I think we would all appreciate being protected BEFORE issues arrive. We all knew RM were striking. All of us except for ebay it seems. So no doubt, i'll have to refund hundreds of orders because of the lies peddled by the perfectly working Estimated Delivery Date system that is based on past performance. Past performace that is totally irrelevant in this situation.

 AND no doubt in a months time when there are no strikes my performance will affect the EDD's again and show that it take me normally 3 weeks for items to arrive and therefore make no sales.

What are we paying ebay for?

I have sponsored listing too and if had known ebay were not going to extend dates, despite the communication saying the would, why would i bother paying to promote listings. I've essentially paid to promote my items, and then made sales, sent items out and then refunded them. So customers get free items and I pay for them and promote.

RM is not to blame for this complete farce. I am livid
