<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 2781679, member: 29643"]I've had handling times on items of 15 days. Why? I once forgot an autographed item in the Philippines and my friend was bringing it to me by plane. Yes, I could have waited to list the item until I had it in hand, but why bother? I clearly state in the listing that it will be 15 days. What irritates me is when sellers say free FedEx shipping, then send it USPS. This is because FedEx costs more, obviously, but why state free FedEx in the first place?</p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond that, I'm generally in agreement that waiting a few business days (up to a week) for handling time is understandable. Maybe the person sells on eBay as a part time thing and only goes to the post office once per week. Maybe they live in a rural route, where they can only make it to the town post office on Saturday or Friday.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you're seriously passing on items that you acknowledge are cheaper simply due to handling times, that's your prerogative. That said, it does reflect on your youth that you'd think that way. As sakata alluded to... "cut off your nose to spite your face."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
