Do you other Ebay Sellers use Saturday as a Business Day?

I don't sell as much volume as most of you, but when I see the Paypal payment come through, I usually reply to that, say thanks for quick payment, and tell the buyer when I am putting it in the mail. So if someone buys on Saturday, I just make it clear it goes out Monday. No complaints so far, but again, not as much volume as most of you.

You may not get dinged on your ratings if you don't ship on Saturdays but you will surely lose the opportunity at a loyal repeat customer. All ebay buyers expect their items to be shipped yesterday...it is just the way it is.

I have had a couple of people complain about slow shipping - which is dumb because I ship out the next day everytime (1 day handling) and I the slowest service I use is First Class which usually still gets there in 3 days across coast.

 

What I noticed is all these people bought their stuff on Fridays. I don't consider Saturday a business day (neither does Ebay according to seller rules). I will ship some stuff out on Saturday, but usually I wait until Monday as I ship stuff from work and I don't work on weekends.

 

So I was going to see - Do any of you all use Saturday as an official business day? Do you have this problem if people buy something Friday Night? Is it worth just working Saturday?

 

I haven't gotten negatives, just feedback with negative sounding comments. Luckily no bad ratings, so I am not sure what the buyers were trying to do.

 

 

I usually do not ship on Saturday.... Mainly because I do not go outside before afternoon when our Post Office is closed already....

 

But I do always inform my buyers which day the shipment will be sent out and when to roughly expect it...

I ship on saturdays as much as I possibly can(work) but at a minimum have label printed.

 

As for the labels, I use the peel and stick ones. Thinking of buying a zebra thermal printer once the ones I have run out.

My weekends are sacred and I only post on Mon/Wed/Fri and state this in my listings.  No complaints at all so far.  I mainly sell bike components and have not sold any LEGO yet even though, I'd better start soon as I've doubled my money on a lot of sets so far.

I work for an airline and use an on-demand Brother thermal label printer.  I don't pay for labels as I used old/discontinued airline baggage tag stock with a 4" cutoff set.
