I have tested at various times (middle of the night, etc.) and so far is less than 5 minutes from my buying id to my selling id or selling to buying. They are on different ISP's and this is consistant with the previous delays. Most were under three minutes. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Am I looking at the email wrong. I am reading off the time it says at the top, said 7:44pm yesterday, I just got it not too long ago. And when I answer directly back, it goes thru the same ebay email relay thing? [email protected]

Well I sent a question to a seller two DAYS ago and they still haven't answered me. Am I to assume that they either never received it, or don't feel it's important enough to answer? It was a question about condition on an item. Seller's are going to lose on this deal BIG TIME if this continues because they will lose bids. I sure as heck ain't gonna bid if I don't get an answer.
As a seller, I put a link to email me directly with any questions. So far only two people have emailed with questions, but they both used eBay's system, so I got my question, guess that other seller doesn't care enough to answer, not sure what else to think.

DebRay-Thanks! Yes it did have her email on it.
flynn-as soon as this batch goes off, I am putting my email link in my ebay ad. And I am NOT getting a user ID. I have gone by my email for almost 4 years now, and I am not changing it. I know its not 'clickable' any longer, but bidders could copy it to their mail.

It's possible that the seller's email filters think that it's spam. My filters were putting Ebay questions into my spam folder. I think that's what's happening to a lot of sellers.
