One thing I hate about ebay is the amount of time people take to send something. The last few things I have bought, it took the seller at least 3 days to ship it. What is up with that. For example, I bought a fork for my bike on the 11th. I sent the guy an email this morning asking for the tracking info and he replies no problem and that he would send me my new fork tomorrow. What gives? I know to some that is a minor problem but I think that is a little rediculous to take that long.

BTW I pay as soon as I win, so this is not some eye for and eye thing. Rant over.

Have you ever sold several items on ebay at a single time? It can be a nightmare!! You have several emails coming in, messages from ebay, messages from paypal, messages from UPS, questions from the buyers, questions about shipping, people asking for discounts, people asking to combine shipping, people asking for shipping quotes to Hong Kong, you name it...people ask it. The worst part is, you do it all while maintaning a full time job and try to keep your feedback positive. This is not a full time job for most people, nor do they have a staff or a regular UPS pick-up from their house. They also don't have boxes just laying around or a car big enough to carry several large boxes (the teener is my daily driver) to drop-off at UPS. Therefore, sometimes shipping can get delayed. If you really wanted it shipped faster, then buy it from a company or better yet get off your ass and go to a store.

Sorry, my rant is now over...I am going to bed.
