How many days does an Ebay seller have from the time of purchase to ship the item sold?
jblakely79 asked:
I purchased something recently on Ebay. The seller is reputable but has somewhat of a spotty record of shipping his items on time. Does Ebay set a deadline for when a seller needs to ship his item after it is purchased?

There is no set time that I am aware of but a good seller will note his shipping schedule in the listings. Some will ship within one to two days of payment. Others will note they only ship once a week and mention the day. Good sellers will also email you when they ship the item. If all else fails, just use the “Ask the seller a Question’ link in the upper right hand side of the listing page and ask the seller when the item was mailed or will be mailed.

it varies between sellers, some seller can take up to 2 weeks, but these types of seller almost always state this in the item desscription. if it didnt mention the time from purcahse date until ship date, I’d expect 1-2 days at most.
