Buyer request to delay shipment after purchase


Hi All,
Unless I'd missed something, there doesn't appear to be a dedicated forum thread to discuss the nuts and bolts of selling/buying on AG, so I'm posting here.

I have a potential buyer who'd like to make a purchase, but would like shipping delayed for a couple weeks while he's on vacation. This doesn't sound like it would be difficult to do, but I've not yet handled a similar request, so I'm wondering what's the best way to do it. Thanks and appreciate the help!

I’ve been in that situation a few times both as a buyer and seller and it’s never been an issue. As long as the item is paid for, both parties have good feedback and a clear agreement is made I wouldn’t expect a problem.
It seems like a legitimate request. As long as you have been paid, why the worry?
I agree with previous two posters. I have done that couple of times in recent months. The key is to get paid as soon as you accepts buyer’s offer and then ship the item on a agreed future date.
