I can't comment on this particular party's shipping habits, but here's a
general comment about Paypal.
It is my understanding that Paypal soaks up about four working days waiting
for the electronic payment to clear, similar to clearing a personal check,
before they release the money to the recipient. That being the case,
perhaps a buyer using Paypal to submit payment should allow 4 or 5 working
days before they expect shipment to commence.
Just a thought.
