Ask them what they want you to do?

I'm sure people who are on holiday can still use PayPal.

This. Perhaps what the buyer means is "I get paid a week on Tuesday but didn't want to miss out on the item".

Waiting 8 days to pay for a purchase isn't great but it doesn't violate eBay's T&C either. You could open an unpaid item case, but all that would happen is that the buyer would pay a week on Tuesday.

You can't make them pay any quicker unfortunately.

At least he's told you.
Perhaps just reply that you will hold the item until whatever date he's back and you expect full payment by then, otherwise you'll open a case on as a non paying winner (if you're feeling vindictive?).

He probably mentioned it as there would be no one to take the parcel in maybe?

Tell them to pay you now, and you'll post in a week.

Otherwise, relist.

That, but mark as dispatched within two days of him paying otherwise you get a seller strike for slow dispatch. Then just post when he gets back.
