It has been 4 days (maybe less, depending on the time you paid) and you are in a tizz that you have not been contacted by the delivery company?

What is the seller's handling time.....maybe it has not even been shipped yet.

If the item is coming from China you may have a long wait.....goods can often take up to 6 weeks to arrive.

You'll be lucky to be notified of a delivery time at all. It's most likely to just turn up one day.

Is there a special reason they needed to contact you about it?

I just ask as a rough guide for delivery timeframes is provided in the listing and can also be seen in your purchase history. They are estimates, so the timeframe is typically a bit give or take, but while they can sometimes be a bit unrealistic, it will give you a rough idea of how long delivery might take. Generally a seller is not able to provide a more definite or accurate delivery estimate than what ebay calculates on the listing / purchase history, because there are so many things that can affect how long it takes, all of which are out of the seller's control (especially if coming from overseas, some items get processed through customs really quickly, some don't).
