@rixx the "made-up delay" referred to the arbitrary delay that banks impose on processing payments, not the presale. AFAIK the delay for SEPA is always 1 bank working day, regardless of the origin and target country.
I just noticed it said "fairer chance", not "fair chance", which is sorta true. My point is that unless you use an instant payment method your payment will arrive after the replication timeout, so you'll receice considerably less vouchers than those using instant payment methods.
@rixx I hope that the EU regulation @feuerrot mentioned will convince banks to support instant payments by next year :D
