My issue is that the listing gave an estimated date of delivery of 2-5 days from the purchase date, and said a purchase on March 6 would be received by March 11.

The fine print of the deal, which I actually read before purchasing, said it would be shipped 3 days after receipt of cleared funds. The hypertext link for cleared funds said paypal clears immediately, unlike echecks.

That's what I've come to learn. Howver, I think in the future, I'm just not going to bother with Ebay. Penny wise Pound foolish.
