Comments on: Postage, despatch and return option changes http://tamebay.com/2008/08/postage-despatch-and-return-option-changes.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:10:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kiss-and-Make-up http://tamebay.com/2008/08/postage-despatch-and-return-option-changes.html#comment-38663 Kiss-and-Make-up Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:32:16 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=3646#comment-38663 agree with 4. At the moment Royal Mail first class is showing as 1 day, Royal Mail themselves state 1-2 days for delivery (hopefully) but that it can take longer. I can only see this is a way of over promising and under delivering and am now considering changing to seller standard rate which I believe won't specify an expected delivery time. I only finished going through all my listings a short while ago for the last round of forced changes.. I'm so glad that ebay have now dictated I need to do it all again :( (and my TL crashed with the last round of updates and I haven't been able to get it to work since either) agree with 4.

I'm happy to quote a 1-2 day dispatch time for a Paypal payment. But if I get a large cheque, I'm going to clear it first. The handling time dropdown in TL, makes no allowance for circumstances like that. So what about cheques?

Very well hidden in Turbo Lister. At the bottom of the Postage Options section is another button marked ‘postage options’; click that, and at the bottom of the first tab is a drop-down for ‘domestic handling time’. On the SYI form, look under Domestic Shipping for Additional options You haven’t selected insurance or handling time options for your listing. Below this is a link “change”, which allows you to specify dispatch time. Bunchy –

I don't imagine eBay will be including a warning to buyers to ALWAYS mark according to the date on the parcel, instead of assuming if eBay says it should arrrive Tuesday and it arrives Wednesday that the seller is at fault. It is already the DSR that even the best sellers have least control over, and this will just make it worse. Just another way to encourage buyers to mark down sellers.
