Oh newbie eBay sellers, how they make me laugh.

I love it when I order something from eBay from a seller with low feedback who tries to make excuses for why his shipping is taking a lot longer then what it should. For example, I bought a pair of skates from this seller about a week and 3 days ago. Shipping was supposed to come USPS Priority 2-3 days, as the eBay auction said. So I was expecting these skates sometime last week. I received a message from the seller that he had shipped my item on Wednesday of last week. So his first mistake was taking a 3 day turn around rate to package and ship my item. Then after it has been six days, 5 of those have been USPS shipping days, I ask the seller if he shipped them Parcel which if so then the time is still within their range, or Priority like the auction mentioned, and if it was shipped Priority then I was letting him know that it has been quite some time, and they might of got lost in transit. He turns around and tries to explain to me that USPS is not like UPS Ground that everyone uses and all his other items he shipped did not get lost and I should stop being impatient. Oh, I love it when people try to make a fool out of me. All I was trying to do was inform the seller how long the shipping was taking, but now I have to deal with him lying and blaming the inconsistent post office for why shipping is taking forever. I have sold over 50 items on eBay, all through USPS without a hiccup, I hate when people blame the post office as being inconsistent when in actuality they don't want to admit they cheeped out of the 34 cents to send the item Parcel.
