eBay buyer rant

So I've had good luck on eBay selling stuff. I always ship quickly and insure things (fedex). I sold my iPhone 5 and the auction closed on the 13th. They buyer paid with an eCheck via paypal, so I had to wait until it cleared to ship. I get email saying it cleared on the 18th, I send it out via fedex ground on the 19th (thu) fully insured and submit the tracking info to the buyer. Today (mon the 23rd) I get email from eBay saying a case has been opened by the buyer since they haven't received the phone yet. Tracking shows it left CA on the 19th, no scan since then. Not surprising this time of year. Buyer said is was an Xmas present and why is it still in CA, and she feels like she got ripped off.

For some reason the auction said expedited shipping with usps (I never ship that way) but even then it says 4-7 days. I responded to the open case but now PayPal has pulled the funds back from my account.

Wtf is wrong with people? If she was in a hurry she should have used a quicker payment method. She is complaining about paying $20 for shipping, which is what I charged, and in fact it cost $21 to ship.

People...
