You are breaking eBay pre-sale rules.

Presale policy | eBay

What is the policy?

Presale listings must guarantee that the item will be shipped within 40 business days of purchase
The date the item will be available to ship must be clearly stated in the listing
Listings must clearly indicate in the title and description that the item is being offered for presale
Handling time details should include the time it will take the seller to acquire the item, in addition to the time it will take the seller to deliver the package to the shipping carrier

If you cannot provide shipping within the 40 days, you should refund and correct your listing for the 40 day handling.
