Don't ship? Don't sell!!!

If you're not going to ship my order within a week (7 days) then don't sell! I understand that emergencies and other life events happen but if you're not going to even bother communicating with me then don't waste my time!!! If there is a life event that is preventing you from shipping then let me know. I will understand and be willing to wait. Even if you're just running a bit late, fine, things happen I can wait a few more days as long as you inform me! HOWEVER, if you make a sale and don't ship or communicate then you are being incredibly rude and disrespectful! It is wrong of you to hold up someone's money and ghost them. This forces buyers to wait days to cancel and get a refund. This is time and money that they could've used to buy from someone who was in fact planning to sell and ship their item.
