The time delay on shorting IPO is a policy of your brokerage. Most US brokerages require a minimum of 3 days (edit: usually more) because they are subject to the "affirmative determination" rule that requires them to be certain they can borrow stock before you can short it. With IPOs the physical stock certificates are hard to locate until they have been distributed, so most brokerages play it safe.

If you want to short IPOs, you really need an offshore account.
