Well, 5:30am here in Texas and settle down for an early morning run at relisting, etc.
Oh an email:
"I left you positive feedback, I think it's only fair you leave the same for me considering how horribly long it took you to ship the item."
I go check: He paid 3/24 (Friday) and I shipped 3/27 (Monday). And in my ebay shipping notification email, I explain the automated feedback process. His feedback is resting at 10.

"Dear Mr Feeblefart,
I don't blame you at all for being upset in the delay in shipping. I received your payment late on Friday, and I was up at the crack of dawn Saturday to ship your herbal Viagra, as you sounded quite desperate in your last email. The local Post Office is closed on Saturday, but I knocked on the door for 30 minutes and the weekend janitor would not unlock the door to accept the package. I then drove 30 miles to a small town where there is a contract P.O. that is open on Saturday. Unfortunately, the clerk was drunk and passed out with his girl friend and the only sign of life was the blaring t.v. tuned to the Mongolian Soccer Playoffs and the dripping of Two Buck Chuck from an overturned glass on the desk onto the floor. I returned home, and tried the local Post Office Sunday morning. I encountered the same janitor, who was irate at this point and chased me off with a deadly looking squeegee. It was Monday morning before the first semi-intelligent clerk showed up to accept the package. After convincineing her that the "AL" in the address meant Alabama, and not Alaska, we finally got it on its way. I calculate I have at least 5 hours invested in trying to expedite this package, and I value my time at $60.00 per hour for weekends, which comes to an extra $300.00. Please let me know right away if you will be sending this amount via Paypal or money order. I will then be happy to leave appropriate feedback when this transaction is completed"
