Foolishly I have listed an item and the auction will end while I am out of the country. It finishes on Friday and I'll be away until Monday night. It's a decent item and I already have one bid - I really don't want negative feedback as I'm trying to build a good reputation and my feedback so far is 100% positive. Any advice or ideas about how to handle this? I may be able to get to an internet cafe and email the winner but knowing me I will probably forget...

Ammend your listing to say that you will be away and you won't be able to contact/post until tues.

If you can get to cafe before email which they wouldn't expect and would buy brownie points.

Thanks Haunted - I wasn't aware you could do that but now I am!! I'm learning every day about eBay!

if item ends on friday , and they paid most people would post monday, so you can post tuesday just 1 day later should be ok, but an email saying
"thanks for prompt payment unfortunately I was really busy on Monday but it will be posted first thing tuesday kind regards etc"
