We don’t have to worry about ebay using one day delivery as the post office is still taking over 4 days to deliver a birthday gift to the neighbor little girl. Even thought it was sent priority mail.
Oh great, Now Wenig is going to figure out a way to force Sellers to offer One Day Delivery for free, but knowing Wenig, Ebay will somehow wind up charging the buyer for it but keeping all of that money for themselves. I think that is called Ebay Plus in Australia if I remember correctly.
That idea will go over like a lead balloon in the US as Sellers hopefully will not allow Ebay to put something like that in place in the US and to allow Ebay to collect all the money but expect the Seller to pay for it. That is how Wenigs mind thinks though, so look out Sellers as Wenig may have another way to reach even deeper into your pockets if you let him.
