So I ordered something off the Bay on Tuesday, and it still hasn't been shipped. I'm used to people shipping the same or very next day, so maybe I'm spoiled. Or just an impatient butt. Thoughts on when I should contact the seller?
Thanks all!

I usually wait about 5 days to a week. Stuff happens in people's lives that cannot be controlled

I'd agree with five days to a week. Some sellers only ship once or twice a week. I can understand a seller not making multiple trips to the PO, especially if they don't live super close to one.

I'd say 5 days. Some people don't get s chance to ship things right away. Either they are busy with work or something else. Give it some time.

Ebay Etiquette, mate none of that on that website, get outbid with 2 seconds to go.

The seller usually puts a window of when they will ship. If it's after that window it's ok to ask. Also it's possible that they shipped through a shipping services website rather than through eBay so it doesn't show as shipped on eBay. I've accidentally done that before.

i literally just leave it to them. if they haven't shipped in a week, they normally send a message explaining.

Ebay Etiquette, mate none of that on that website, get outbid with 2 seconds to go. Bid the absolute maximum that you are willing to pay. If you get outbid, you can live with it, because you know you wouldn't bid any more than that.

Pretty much everything I've ever bought is shipped within 2-3 days.

If you get outbid, you can live with it, because you know you wouldn't bid any more than that. That's what I do. Bid and forget. If I would pay 50 bucks for something, I factor in shipping, place my bid and then check back after the auction ends. If I win, I win...if not...well, I wouldn't have paid more than that anyway.

Don't lowball people with stupid offers such as 300 for a $1500 Blackglamma fur coat

Five days seems reasonable. Especially here in Australia, there's lots of small businesses using eBay and that seems to be the 'magic' number.

5 days. As an ebay seller myself, because of my job, I can only go to the post office on certain days although I usually let the buyer know about that when I send the invoice. If the auction ends on a Monday, maybe the guy cant go to the post office until Saturday.

Whenever I sell something I try my best to be an 'Out the door in 24' type of guy.
I don't really expect the same from others but I will send a message to a seller that hasn't shipped in 5 days.

I'd say a week. If I sell I try to periodically contact the buyer to let them know when I will ship.

It depends on the seller, I usually wait like 3 sometime it may take longer.

I voted with the majority. If it's been 5 days and not marked as shipped and it hasn't arrived (maybe they forgot to update the shipping status) then I'd inquire. When I sell on eBay sometimes it take an extra day to ship depending on my schedule as I try to go the post office while I'm already running errands.
