eBay: fast shipping?

[CarlWohlforth]

For auctions ending Sunday, paid that night I usually ship Monday. I shipped all items from last week within a day of payment and more of been delivered and I've already gotten feedback on 90%.

Last Sunday I won 3 auctions from the same fellow. I paid Monday morning. Just today I get mail saying my item has shipped then a few hours later I get positive feedback. Now I hate to dis any seller because I know eBay expects sellers to get all 5 stars in every category every time. But this guy is 1 week slower than I am! Should I give him 4 stars (rather than 5) in shipping time? I certainly won't give any feedback until the coins arrive...

Me?  I would check the lowest star for shipping.  That's poor something in my book..

Unless he experienced some family, or personal, situation that prevented his visiting the
PO sooner, and even then, he should be courteous enough to let buyers know of the delay.

Be honest both for buyers and yourself as a seller as well.

The same standard should apply unless unusual circumstances come into play.

[CarlWohlforth]

They still haven't arrived as of yesterday, I'm about to go check my PO box in an hour or so.

I've already received positive feedback saying how nice the coins are for coins I shipped one entire week after this fellow's auction.

So the coins show up today. One problem is one of the coins that shows up is graded PR 68. The auction is clearly for a PR 69. So that one will go back. Sigh.

Jeez...  It's such a darn shame that people won't try a little harder to get things right....  Late shipping, and then this.....?  Wow... 

If it were me, and not until I had the correct coin in hand, or made whole, I'd leave some not so terrific FB numbers and words!! 

Good Luck!

I would leave  appropiate feedback for the item.  If you're not happy even if the seller does have a return policy it should be noted.
