Hello @human0549-5 and welcome!
The note says to ship by June 5. So ship any time between now and June 5th as long as you have been paid by the buyer. Check your paypal account to confirm. If you have been paid and are able to ship today then go for it.
The "ship by" date is based on the handling time you added to your listing. That looks like you chose a 7 day handling time. 7 business days plus weekends brings you to June 5.

I think the Ship by date in the ebay note is in accordance to your shipping & handling time. I don't know full details on this new note thing, but it literally is something new that just popped up over night. I sold some items yesterday and it wasn't there. Woke up this morning and I see a ship by note on my orders from overnight. However mine say to ship by today, 5/26, and I have a 1-day shipping & handling.

2 Business Days would be next Wednesday (May 30th) for a purchase made today (Sat/Sun/Memorial Day) .. Tuesday would be the 1st business day ... Monday the 5th would be the 5th business day 😞
Looks like eBay is counting the holiday, but added a week??? That would be typical 😞

They're not doing that in the estimated delivery dates in my listings. And the email advising me of a sale this morning says, "Make sure you send it within 1 day, the handling option you selected in your listing". It says nothing about a specific calendar date.

Mine says "Ship by Tuesday, May 30", which is the correct date. OP is registered in Malaysia; maybe that's causing a glitch in the calculation. Or maybe their postal system is taking a holiday.

I thought Saturday was considered a business day. I have two orders I am putting together tonight. I have 1 day handling so I was told that if I sell on Friday it has to be at post office on Saturday.

eBay does not consider Saturday a business day. Who told you an item sold on Friday has to be shipped on Saturday? If your items sold before midnight Pacific time, then by eBay's clock they were sold Thursday, not today, and if you offer 1-day handling, they have to ship TODAY, not Saturday.

I have a 2 day business handling time and the messages Ebay is sending are not correct. Sold an item on the 28th and they say to mail by Wed, May 31st ?? Monday was a postal holiday ?? Is this message going to the customer also ? This can cause many problems like negative feedback and useless emails ??

Of course Monday was a postal holiday. Memorial Day is a postal holiday every year. You could even look it up on the USPS website.
