honestly it would be good as:

seller: you state up front what you shipping policy is

buyer: you confirm with the seller your expectations on shipping and communication

You end up cutting out the middle man, "Assume", in that regard.

I think the horse is dead on this one.

Want to save yourself some time as well as make it clear what a buyer can expect from you? Do what I do. When they tell me they'll take an item and ask for my PP, I send them the following along with my PP addy.

"I will ship within 2-3 business days after receiving payment. You have 24 hours from the time of this PM to make payment or I reserve the right to sell to another buyer and refund any payment you may send."

I also tell them how I will ship the item, USPS Priority, Parcel Post, etc. This way they know exactly how long it MAY take me to ship and how I'm shipping it. If they send payment, it's safe for me to assume that they've agreed to these terms.

heck, Your quote I would just stick in the listing:

"I will ship within 2-3 business days after receiving payment. You have 24 hours from the time of this PM to make payment or I reserve the right to sell to another buyer and refund any payment you may send."

right to the point
