I need a mount to finish my swap. Found a mount on ebay, ask what the buy it now price was/is. He said $30 and he would end the auction. I paid, and was given a tracking # but it has not been shipped yet. Have i just been screwed? How long should i wait? It is coming from PA. **Dear racer\_x\_x\_x,** [http://www.usps.com](http://www.usps.com) Delivery Confirmation / Insurance Number: 420 14225 9107 1288 8230 0979 5969 41 **- h00d19s** ---

How long has it been? Usually by the time usps gets the confirmation # in their system its already been delivered. ---

The post office does not update as quickly (or at all) like UPS or FedEx. It probably has shipped you fucking elitest bastard… 😉 Give it a few days. ---

if it’s USPS… then they won’t update their website until you already have the item in your hand!!! Their tracking system SUCKS!!! ---

USPS tracking sucks X eleventybillion. Did it ship Priority Mail or Parcel Post? Parcel post means the postal service intentionally leaves it on the shelf for as long as they feel like it. eBay probably won’t help you, but paypal might. I would wait a few more days keep in touch w/ the seller. ---
