https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Packaging-Shipping/Delayed-shipping/qaq-p/384983 <P class="mce-p">Hi All</P> <P class="mce-p">I purchased from a seller on 24/08, paid immediately and sent a msg through ebay to let the seller know. There was no contact from the seller and the payment hadn't been marked as received so I sent another msg (again through ebay) asked the seller if payment had been received on 29/08. Seller answered, letting me know that they had received the payment and due to some private family&nbsp;problems (full explanation was given)&nbsp;was unable to post until 31/08. A few msg's were exchanged and ended with me wishing the seller luck with their situation and that I would keep an eye out, thanked them very much for letting me know. The 31st came and went, as of today 05/09 the item is still yet to be marked as posted. I sent a quick msg yesterday, just to follow up and see if all had gone well and have had no reply as yet. I know everyone has lives outside of ebay and most don't access their accounts daily (myself included) and I am taking this into account and given the situation the seller has explained, I feel hesitant to push but I don't really know how long I should leave things. The seller has also received f/b since so has posted out or bought and paid for items&nbsp;at some stage since the 24th. Any suggestions would be appreciated.</P> Tue, 04 Sep 2012 23:36:59 GMT lucylou110173 2012-09-04T23:36:59Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Packaging-Shipping/Delayed-shipping/qaq-p/384983 <P class="mce-p">Hi All</P> <P class="mce-p">I purchased from a seller on 24/08, paid immediately and sent a msg through ebay to let the seller know.
