just because it doesnt say “shipped” in ebay, doesnt mean he hasnt sent it out. its only been a week since you ordered…give him a day or 2 to ship it…then add transit time… keep in mind, the holiday also. I think its too early to do any disputes just yet. what is his feedback/user id? ---

If I go to the post office/store and ship it manually, the buyer isn’t notified that the item has been shipped unless I mark it shipped on Ebay or send an email. I rarely mark it, usually it gets to them before they start to wonder where it is anyway. If the seller doesn’t ship a lot of large items, he might have had to take time to find a suitable box, etc. I always locate a box before I even list an item so that doesn’t happen. Also remember UPS doesn’t deliver Saturday, Sunday, or this Monday. I would wait for a reply, I wouldn’t worry yet. ---

eBay will not allow you to dispute it until 14 days, after 14 days if you haven’t gotten it yet, then def dispute and get your money back. ---

If you payed with paypal, sometimes it takes a while for it to CLEAR in paypals eyes even tho it shows up in your bank account as a transaction in like a day. I had to wait almost a week and a half for something to ship becuase of weekend/holidays/and paypal to clear it.
