Default How long should I wait for an item from ebay?

This exact time last week I purchased some delightful clothing.

'Sellers Standard Rate' hardly means this long does it?

Tried to contact the indiviual, no responce. Need the thing for friday night.

A weeks wait is nothing on Ebay in my experience.

yeah i agree, a week is nothing. i ordered something on the 14th jan and it hasn't arrived yet.

would it be anything in a box that needed to go standard parcels? standard parcels is my worst nightmare. it takes so...loooong... sometimes.

A week? That's not long - I've been waiting for over 2 months for stuff to appear.

Still waiting for something from 27th Dec - although judging by his sudden influx of negative feedback and the closure of his account, I doubt that will appear.

So, armed only with his name, email address and home address, what do you think I should do in revenge?

Posting Phone Books in brown paper envelopes without stamps on them was my first idea, as was signing him up to a million porn mailing lists.

I'm bored - I think having a nemisis to torment might give me a new purpose in life.

Depends on the seller's location. If they're in the UK there is no reason why they shouldn't have been able to get the item to you by now. I sold a couple of memory cards on Thursday and they were with my buyers on Saturday.

Now if you've bought the thing from outside the UK... that can vary. Best response I've had has been stuff from Hong Kong arriving within a week, normally I'd expect a couple of weeks or so.

If you're still getting no response from the seller you should prolly contact eBay.

I think the longest I've had to wait for something is a week. I've been fairly lucky with eBay.

nah still in the UK.

It pisses me off alot because I put effort into selling my things and checking postage etc, its not that hard for someone else to do it too.

Anyway ebay can't do anything can they?

Legally, the seller usually has 30 days in which to supply the goods. This is general mail order law.

On eBay, if the seller is not responding you can open a dispute 10 days after the auction ends.
This is probably your first option.
