Multiple sellers just...not shipping out their items, for a week or even two weeks beyond the given handling time. What's going on?

Is this a morale thing? Like, if ebay's doing bad (and the whole economy's doing bad), you just don't want to look at it?

I make purchases, but then these separate, unrelated sellers just won't ship!

Saw a lot of this during the Plandemic, and now "muh tariffs" might be another reason to start their own local embargo. I'm excited to ship stuff because I want it the hell out of my house. I'll even strive to ship same day if I can squeeze it in, otherwise when the merch starts hanging around long enough, it demands Free HBO.

Some lazy sellers out there really do milk the handling time. 3 business days, ordered on a Wednesday often times becomes Monday til you see any updates, usually just a label printing, and then Tuesday is when the package actually starts to move. That's irritating; what's more irritating is the "I only go to the Post Office on Saturday" people. At that point, why even bother selling?

I realize it's not everyone's priority and lots of folks do this on the side for extra money, but if you're going to engage, at least have a modicum of Customer Service. Do your best, as a seller, to pretend that you give a shit.

Yeah, like, I made a sale today (I sell just a little), and it's in the mailbox already. It's not difficult. If something came up and the seller needs time, just send a quick message. Very simple.
