I am writing this Guide out of frustration.  After buying hundreds of items on ebay and paying quickly (the very same day or the next day) - I usually end up waiting far too long for arrival of my items.  I find that most sellers I encounter send my items 2 weeks to a month after they get my payment.  I am so angry about these frustrating and upsetting transactions.

Tell me - why do most sellers wait so long to send items?  It is irresponsible for sellers to wait weeks, sometimes a month (or more), before they send your item/s.  Is it laziness?  Is it absentmindedness?  Is it because these sellers do not care?  

This type of behavior certainly does not instill any trust or repeat business from buyers.  

Sellers:  If you are serious about gaining (or retaining) a good reputation on ebay and inspiring repeat business from precious buyers - Send items quickly - Don't procrastinate!
