Shipping Label processing time

Anyone else seeing inconsistancies for length of time to be charged for eBay Labels.

Sept 4. Not charged

 

For the longest time they were processing between 24 and 36 hours. Even had a few that had NOT be delivered to PO. that were charged. 

 

Shouldn't there be some sort of consistency with billing??? I've even noticed major discrepancies for how long it takes for payments from buyers to be released. 1/2/3 days as of late.

Re: Shipping Label processing time

I took a few weeks off in August so just back into it September but I've always found inconsistencies with the timing of label processing. I think the average for me was 2 - 4 days, there was the occassion freaky next day and a few that took about a week. I have two I'm waiting on now but I just printed them yesterday. I do find everything seems to take a little longer (including payment from buyer release) when they happen on the weekend, and of course we just had the long weekend.

Hoping there won't be too many hold ups. I'm waiting on payment for a number of items and I can't help but wonder if that coupon offer eBay has going is the issue  - at least one buyer told me they were having trouble applying a coupon and eBay told them to try again in 24 hours - thanks by the way lotz for that link on the coupon promotion you posted in that thread, I wouldn't have even known.

This coupon thing may be screwing things up since it sounds like it can be used for items "in cart" which could include separated sellers so I don't know how they are going to work that all out. And the fact that the coupon is good until September 20th some people may be sitting with stuff waiting to combine it and get the higher coupon. Not sure if it's relevant to the timing you are asking about, but I can't see it helping! 😬

Don't know if the day of the week makes a difference.

Also our local postal outlet does not get a pickup between 3pm Friday and 3pm Monday.

Here in Victoria,  dropoffs go to Richmond by ferry where they are processed.

If the weather is bad, the ferries don't run.

One would think it would be based on arrival at sort plant and any sort of audit. Not always the case. I've seen them billed before they were dropped off. Several times packaged/label generated Friday night. Charged Sat/Sun. Dropped off Monday. The parcels mentioned above have either been delivered or are about to be delivered. Then there are possibility of revised bills. Those can show up at the 7 to 10 day mark. Last one I got was for a local shipment. Dropped off on 6th of June. Del'd 7th. Original label charge June 7 (was MIA up until recently.) The surcharge went thru June 9. Only noticed because I saw surcharge but no label charge. For sake of  semantics posted very late with inaccurate dating.

 

My preference is to have funds available to cover charges with MP. This keeps getting more and more challenging.

devon@ebay  Is there  new process in place for how long it takes verify eBay Label charges with CP etc? It was running smoothly in the past. 24 to 48 hrs max.  As of late it has gone to all over the map. Has eBay extended autit times? I am seeing in excess of 4 days and up to 20 on a couple of occasions.

Unsure how this is going for everyelse but have started to see some consistency for billing of eBay labels over the last few days. Processing seems to be in a more timely manner. Appreciated if this got to the powers in charge and it was looked into/ addressed!!!!

Re: Shipping Label processing time

I bought 2 shipping labels for UPS on eBay 2 1/2 weeks ago & was only charged for them today. That is the longest delay I have ever had in being charged for labels.  I still have a few other labels from more than a week ago that I have not been charged for yet either.

Re: Shipping Label processing time

rarely ever see that kind of delay...my most recent shipping label purchase(for Canada Post) was on Nov.6th and the charge processed on Nov.9th.
