Hi Guys, i forgot to mark orders as dispatched which should of been done before midnight. Do eBay Penalise you for it with Managed Payments?

Cheers

First time? or multiple times?

if you print shipping label on Ebay,it should be marked shipped.

I have maybe forgot once before.

I do UK stamps so eBay shipping labels not necessary. Have always marked orders as dispatched manually. Its a lot cheaper for the products I sell.

I use stamps as well ,makes no sense to pay tracking for low price items,if they file INR,then block them

You may get a late shipping mark against your metrics which you can appeal but do not place much hope on it. If you have done it before in the previous 6 months it might push your account over to below average which may effect your listings appearing high in searches.

As far as I know marking it as shipped makes no difference unless you have tracking to upload. Without tracking it's only marked as late if a buyer reports it as late

As degsey mentioned above, it does make a difference. Do it too often and you'll find your account dropping to 'below average' which will impact visibility as, for example, your promoted listing would be suspended.

The odd time doesn't matter but I would try to avoid it. A big red 'dispatch overdue' is not what I wanna see lol

What also effects you if you fail to put tracking in is if the buyer marks you down for arrival time of the product in the feedback.
