When eBay tells you it's time to ship your sale, ship it! according to your listed s/h time, which should only be a business day or two -- or three at the most, if you want some time for allowing the buyer to cancel before you ship.
The important thing to remember is that when eBay says it's time to ship, your payment is already secured. It is only waiting to be processed into your bank account by eBay/Adyen and your bank.
For those delaying sellers reading this and not necessarily meant for this OP:
Some uninformed sellers foolishly and stubbornly insist that they will not ship until they see the money actually in their bank account. Sometimes that will take many more days if a weekend and/or holiday is involved. Those sellers are taking the risk of a negative shipping rating, actual legitimate negative feedback, or the buyer noticing an unnecessary s/h delay on the item and bypassing the seller entirely for another with a reasonably quick shipping time. Sometimes the buyer will even pay more from another buyer just so they can get the item quicker.
Buyers are not stupid - they want their item ASAP after they pay... Think business and customer service, with the hope that the buyer becomes a happy return customer.
