What is the protocol here?

I purchased a record here on June 30 and promptly paid via PayPal. I sent a message to the seller to notify me when it shipped. This seller has stellar feedback.  I assumed the LP would ship the next day which was Monday July 1. It did not. On Tuesday morning I received a message saying the seller would be out of town for more than a week and he would either ship then or issue a refund that day.  I guess the seller had already left because my message(s) have gone unanswered.  I specifically said if it was only going to be a little over a week, then I would wait, otherwise to send a refund now.   There was no response.  It is now July 14 and still no communication.  

I am mostly irritated because the person selling the item should have stated in the ad that shipping would be delayed.  I purchased the item within an hour that the ad posted.  Am I being unreasonable here and do you agree the seller should have been up front from the start?
