I agree with the poster. Since average sellers sale proceeding remittance is based on buyer confirmation ,otherwise automatic 8+5 days delay (till buyer does not make a claim "item not received or not as described ")
This bites the seller selling high value product.(say rs 10k to 15K) I have a case in which a buyer ,who received next day shipment & product in hand with in 72 hours of payment,still not confirming delivery. Though he has left fast shipment -positive comments.when I call him on phone-says he is busy or not infront of system or outside!!
Ebay should make it easy & compulsory for buyers to confirm delivery.or Courier integrated acknoweledgement system.
sellers only suffer. If low value product ok...14 day automatic remittance cycle is ok.
