E, Danielremembering pre paypal and even today, many sellers give buyers 10 - 14 days to deliver payment. In their minds, they understand than not all buyers are running around with nothing else to do in their lives but ebay, and expect only a reasonable effort to be expended in making payment. Then there is some turn around time, and an available day to go to the post office, and yada yada.
Similarly, I would imagine, those Sellers who give longer payment times also do not feel like they are 'on the clock' with buyers to make sure an item ships. And that doesn't necessarily change even if they recieve payment immmediately via paypal. They may do a lot of trade and have a schedule they've used for years in dealing on ebay, and that system isn't going to just change overnight because of the expeidency now afforded by paypal.
I know I am always both impatient for items to arrive, and also mindful of my impatience......
Just another perspective.
