The messenger would appear to be getting shot…
is this a real question? 
In addition to the payment delay on seller central, there are delays on the buyer side also. We sent an item to our daughter in Las Vegas and it arrived without the charge unit. We asked for a replacement and set up a return to UPS with the QR code. Item was returned to UPS on Sunday (a day after delivery) and she got the UPS receipt.

We expect that we will have to fight the charge for non returned item sometime in February.
