late tracking defect question
A buyer purchased an item on 7/12 but did not pay for it until 7/16. I had scheduled time away to cover an out of town vacation from 7/15-7/23 (and I believe I added an extra day before and after this time period). When there was no payment by 7/13, I sent an invoice letting the buyer know that if they could pay for the item by the end of the day I would put it in the mail the following day before I left town - otherwise it would not be shipped until after I returned on 7/24. The buyer never responded, so when I returned I shipped the package on 7/25. I appealed the late tracking to eBay, but they denied it and said that was the final decision. My question is, if this were to happen again, what should I do differently? Cancel the order before I leave town? Or maybe schedule my time away for a week ahead? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
