With that – how does the Handmade category logically go together with the 1-day handling? The whole idea of Handmade suggests some time for producing the piece.

For instance, in jewelry, even the most simple item production/assembly takes 1-2 days, while any customization, including casting or stone setting, would imply 3 days of most effective work.

Doesn’t such unrealistic expectations for handling eliminate the advantages of real handmade manufacturing while encouraging more industrial sellers in the Handmade category?
