There may be no policy, but the reality is that far too
many buyer's eyes glaze over on terms like that, and
they expect next-day shipment regardless. And these
buyers have itchy trigger fingers on their FB phasors.

eBay is not an ideal venue for weekly sellers, unless
they arrange for their auctions to end two days
before ship-day (and have no BINs that could end
earlier).

eBay buyer expectations are set by amazon.com.
It's irrelevant that this is unrealistic.

But back at the thread topic. If an auction's terms
don't include a shipping window, that makes for an
excellent ask-seller question.
