EXACTLY On Dec 4 I bought something(not on Ebay) and received a Paypal email notice a day later that it had been shipped. My USPS app currently shows that it was shipped on Nov 30th and it had arrived on Dec 4.

people can sell things on Ebay, print a mailing label and then not actually put it the system till a week later
