What did the auction say about shipping? I know in my auctions I always specify two business days handling time before shipping, just in case something happens and I can't ship it the next day. I've seen auctions that state it can be a week before the item is shipped. You can't always go buy a previous transaction, even if it is from the same person. If he doesn't ship the item by the 8th (a week from the auction), then I would be pissed and send him an email about it.Just calm down.
