Personally I sell on eBay a lot, and I can't speak for other sellers, but every morning I will pack up sold items from the previous evening, and print the shipping labels, and then either the carrier picks them up or I will drop them off depending on shipping method. The tracking #(s) is/are uploaded into the system, and an automated message is sent to the buyer's email registered with eBay stating it has been shipped. I don't send personal notes to each buyer, unless they contact me with some type of special instructions, but they all get the automated message. As others have said check the shipping details in the listing, the seller should specify handling time. Also as others have said, feedback is a good indication of what to expect.. most of the time you can tell if someone is a quick shipper with good communication or the opposite. I've also had an issue before where I bought something and the seller went on vacation and never put his vacation notice up. I'd say the majority of sellers on there that sell a lot are good with that kind of stuff, but you will run into slackers here and there. If you can try to stick to sellers with Top Rated Seller status because there are incentives for them to keep that status, such as discounts on fees, higher boosts in the best match search, and you get the Top Rated seal on your listings, which carries more trust and brings in more sales. There is a handful of various criteria you have to meet to be a Top Rated Seller, such as high detailed ratings, shipping within your stated time, uploading tracking, high feedback ratings, so you know they will work hard to take care of you. But with the Top Rated sellers you may pay a little more, because they can usually get a premium for their items because they are more trusted by buyers. Not saying don't buy stuff from other sellers, I do all the time, but just saying if you want to guarantee the better customer service. Just my thoughts...
I Opt to Ban smperkins !!!!!!!!!!

Well, the above is actually somewhat useful information... surprising.
... unlike the 'story' he concocted to either sell the bike outside of the Forum classifieds restrictions or... failing that, to get a free appraisal for his subsequent eBay sale.
Doubt he'll be back, banned or not. He's already got what he wanted.
