I assure you this is not the case. Yes it shows I printed the label but eBay also tracks when it gets into the hands of the carrier as well as when it delivers to you. As a seller I get hit with a late delivery mark against me if i do not get the post office confirmation that they have the package in the allotted time. Too many of those and I will lose my top ratted seller status costing me discounts as well as visibility on eBay. In other words, eBay cares about fast shipping.
