Buying a Get It Fast Item

Looking for a last-minute Christmas or birthday gift? The Get It Fast program helps you find items that can be delivered quickly. Look for the Get It Fast logo when viewing an item page:

The Get It Fast logo indicates that the seller offers an expedited shipping service and has agreed to ship the item within one business day of receiving your cleared payment.

Estimated delivery date

Next to the Get It Fast logo you'll see the earliest date that you can receive the item (for example, "As soon as 15 July"). This date is calculated by taking the current date, adding one business day for the seller's handling time, and then adding the number of business days the expedited postage service takes. "Business days" are normal weekdays. Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays do not count as business days.

The seller is under no obligation to ship the item until they have received cleared funds from the buyer. If you want to receive the item as soon as possible, we recommend that you pay immediately using a fast payment method such as PayPal. If you are not certain whether you can receive the item as quickly as you want, please contact the seller before purchasing the item to discuss delivery options.

Once a seller ships an item, it is still possible that delays will occur as , part of the normal variability of shipping services. Additionally, if you live in an area that takes a longer time than normal for deliveries to arrive, please keep this in mind as you view the estimated delivery dates.

How to pay for Get It Fast items

PayPal

PayPal is the fast, safe and easy way to pay sellers-it lets you send payments instantly online from your credit card or bank account. Using PayPal can help you ensure that you receive the item on time.

Personal checks

Many sellers prefer to wait until checks have cleared and funds have been paid into their account before shipping items. If you still want to pay by personal check and receive the item quickly, please contact the seller before committing to buy the item.

Other payment methods

The seller may offer other payment methods. If you want to receive the item quickly, eBay recommends that you contact the seller to agree on payment terms and shipping times before committing to buy the item.
