EBay to Launch Guaranteed Delivery in 3 Days or Less This Summer

EBay will roll out a guaranteed delivery service in the U.S. this summer, promising delivery in three days or less on 20 million items -- many with free shipping -- it said in a Monday announcement. Customers will be able to search for and filter items by one- and two-day delivery, said the online auction site. If a guaranteed item arrives late, the buyer can ask to have shipping costs refunded. For items with free shipping, buyers will receive a coupon to be used toward the next eBay purchase or they can choose to return the item at no cost, it said. Guaranteed delivery has no additional cost to sellers, but they must meet required shipping standards to participate, eBay said.
