I have 3-day (business day) handling, and 3 working days a week.
If you buy from me today, Thursday (17th) my ship by date, "to meet the requirements set by eBay", is Wednesday (23rd).
If you had purchased from me on Friday, I would not need to ship until this Friday.
I have that cushion for possible health/power/weather/internet issues.
The estimated delivery should show that before someone purchases.
I do agree that a seller should meet the handling time shown in the listing. That handling time may not always meet the expectations of a buyer.
Not all offices scan "prepaid" packages when someone walks up to the counter. Some have a drop, and scan later. Some offices refuse to scan prepaid and let that 1st scan happen at the regional facility.
