Paid on the 8th, and tracking was updated on the 8th for the buyer. On the 8th, no movement (which is typical). On the 9th, no movement. On the 10th, no movement as the seller claims they dropped it off that day. On the 11th, no movement.

On the 12th, no movement. And thats when they messaged OP asking about it. And OP canceled their order, went to the post office, and it was still sitting there.

5 days of checking that tracking number. And 5 days of it not even showing accepted.

I wouldn't call the buyer a loser for that. For all they know, it was never shipped. And the immediate cancellation by the seller, on an item they were hot to get, would have pissed anyone off. I am sure they just said to do that, as a means of lighting a fire under the seller. But who knows.
Item was cancelled because the buyer demanded it. No seller in their right mind is going to try to complete a transaction after the buyer says to cancel it. You are just begging for more issues. If buyer did not mean it he should not have said. I am 100% calling a buyers bluff if they demand or threaten me. No buyer should make demands like that as it generally ill come back on them. I still think the neg would be removed for that very reason if the seller pushed the issue.

There are also times when the item does not get scanned until delivery had one happen a few months back only scan it got was delivery. Its actually against the abusive buyer policy to ask about non delivery before the estimated delivery date has passed.

Buyers own handling time is 2 business days so he shoud have totally realized that if it was paid on a Thursday it woulld possibly not ship til Monday.
