Long Shipping Times

Because Earners are only paid when an item has arrived and is confirmed by the Shopper who is seeking to purchase the goods; and because they are trying to get money in a timely manner (Earners’ have bills and rent to pay) — it’s important transactions complete quickly.

Therefore, Earners who are trying to liquidate their balances quickly will normally cancel an order they’ve accepted if it appears it will take too long to complete.

Processing takes multiple days before an item will ship (the price of Bitcoin is volatile and can affect earnings)
