eBay Screwed Up Shipping Estimates Over 2-Week Period

eBay confessed to screwing up shipping estimates on sellers’ listings for a two-week period in September. eBay informed sellers in an email in case they receive defects from shoppers disappointed with delivery time. The issue is important since buyers make purchasing decisions based on how quickly they think they can receive the item, and is particularly critical for sellers since eBay lets buyers ding their performance for failing to meet expectations around delivery time.
