So I win a couple of Celtics autos on Ebay last night and pay this morning.
Guy states in his auctions that he ships on Tuesday and Thursday only.
I drop him a message this morning asking if he will be shipping today or Tuesday. I full expect Tuesday unless maybe he has his own shop or something.
------------------------
Here is his reply:
you paid Today..... Thursday. i have been at work since 8am. i won't get home until after the PO is colsed. but i will make a special trip tomorrow just for you.

We'll see if it happens. He has 6300+ FB with a 99.9% and DSR's of 4.9, 4.9, 4.7 & 4.7 so I would expect he would.
He'll get a repeat business from me if he does!!
-------------------------
I sent him a message that even if it was Tuesday I would be cool with it.
His 2nd Reply:
hello. i will be able to ship it tomorrow. i say Tuesday and Thursday just to be safe. i am on salary, so some weeks i put in 40 hours and other weeks i put in 60 hours. the only problem is that my post office doesn't open until 9am and it closes at 4:30pm.

I don't see the sarcasm in either post and I'm a cynic

Unless there is something out of the ordinary which prevents me from doing so, I usually ship my items the day that the PayPal payment clears or the following day, if the PO is already closed. I guess this helps to keep me at 100% and all 5s.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Well yes I do.
He states in his auctions that he ships on Tuesday and Thursday.
Being as this is thursday and his 9-5 keeps him from going to the P.O. it would be silly of me to think it would ship before Tuesday.
I am fine with this because I understood this when I bid. Now if I had paid last night maybe a case could be made for mailing today!

I ordered some shoes that were time senstive on Friday. Fearing the worst, being a holiday weekend, I said I would pay more to get here in a hurry. The seller responded just an hour later and said not to worry he was going to the PO that afternoon. Shoes arrived promptly on Tuesday. Amazing transaction!

<< <i>I bet you still will give him 4 stars for shipping huh?

According to ebay definition, 4 stars is reasonable. I think shipping the next day is reasonable. To help sellers, they should give 4 stars a more negative definition. 4 stars will kill a DSR, but"reasonable" doesn't sound that bad.
Me too.
All he needed to say was "this order will ship tuesday' thanks.

being he's a steeler's fan he must be a great guy

Yet with your exciting life you had time to reply. I feel honored.
In all seriousness how is your nephew doing?
"Here is his reply:

I would also demand to see the postal receipt, as he did say he was making a special trip just for you. If there are other shipments on the receipt I would feel slighted that other less important packages were included in your own special trip.
I think the whole scenario of the first reply being sarcastic or not would make a great Seinfeld episode. I think it all hinders on the fact if an exclamation point was used.
Example: I will make a special trip just for you. (could be taken either way, sincere or sarcastic)
