Figured they do that now anyway though. Ordered a phone case two weeks ago, on a Tuesday night. Within 20 minutes I had confirmation and it was marked as sent untracked.

Paid express and it took a week to arrive. Checked the tracking on the package and it didn't hit the post until Thursday night.

I only mark it sent the minute its popped into the mailbox.

EBay marks it as sent the instant the postage label is paid for too. Or if you pay for tracking with auspost and print the label and add it to the item on eBay page.
