This is pretty normal, at least for bulk. I have an order that's been in Assembly for few weeks. That is less normal but not uncommon.

Yep. It's slow, but thinking positively, people are buying a ton of stuff this year. It's the best card market I've ever seen. All else equal, the alternative is sluggish sales with near insta-ship. ...

Neither have I. I bet a few of those are waiting to be uncovered by the expert buyer in dollar boxes at various card shows. People would rip that stuff not even knowing SPs existed.

Totally. I believe you can report the seller for policy violation since sellers are required to use the shipping service the buyer selected during eBay checkout. I'd go that route versus feedback.
