The item is coming from Hong Kong. Notorious for being slow. The 10th was only yesterday. The seller doesn't put that date in the listing, eBay does and more often than not, those dates are wrong. The date is an estimate, not a fact. Sellers have no control over how long the carriers take to deliver the item.

I'd be waiting another week and if it's still not there, contact the seller and let them know. They will probably ask you to wait a few more days. Wait a few more days. If they still ask you to wait longer, open an item not received dispute through eBay to get your money back. Asian sellers are notorious for stringing you out so the time to claim a refund expires. Don't let that happen.

If they promise to send a replacement, say no, you'd prefer a refund. Then on the off chance it does arrive, you can repay the seller.

Looking at the item, it's probably a good thing if it doesn't arrive. There is no way I'd be buying anything like that from Asia. Most things don't comply with Australian standards, which means you could get electrocuted, it could catch on fire, any number of bad things. It probably doesn't even have an Australian plug on it. Stuff like that should always be bought domestically so you know they are in compliance with our standards.

Edit: It has a US plug on it, so a bit useless for here. Please don't say you bought an adaptor from these people too............

If you look on the listing in regards to the shipping table for Australia you can see that 7.1% of items can take

up to 30 days to receive,(so it's probably held up somewhere along the way).

If it hasn't arrived by the 28th day then you could open a dispute for not received,( if you're worried you

always sent the seller a message first so they can follow up on it).

Which plug did you choose,(the EU European or the US United States one?)

I presume you have a plug adaptor for Australia and we use 240 volts where as it is 220 volts.

It pays to read everyting in the description before commiting to buy.

She got a US plug, which means the actual unit is probably 110V. She wouldn't just need a plug adaptor, she'd need a voltage adaptor with it. Suddenly when you have to start buying all these extras to make it work, it's not as cheap as first thought. She'll probably pay the same or more for an adaptor as what she paid for the unit (unless she buys a dodgy one from Asia for a few bucks which could burn her house down). It would have been cheaper just to go to Hardly Normal!

If it was me, I'd be now praying it didn't turn up!

give it another week if it dont turn up do a i didnt recieve my item request. hopefully it never turns up as buying electrical items from china is asking for trouble. they are cheap for a reason, no safety garantee. you could well end up electrocuting yourself.

cant get a refund if your dead.

US voltage is 120 and it shows the EU plug if you select EU or US,(so there is no telling what she bought

as the plug doesn't change and the voltage stated is DC 110-220v in the listing).

The US plug has 2 flat prongs and it can also have a third round prong.

Yes,it would be better and safer for her if it didn't turn up,

We had to buy a voltage adpator for a North American device - costs over AUD $90.00 and the thing weighs a ton.

DON'T buy electrical goods from China or Hong Kong.

They are FIRE hazards.

Electronic componentry and wiring DON'T meet standards for most developed countries.

Did you buy an inverter? The US plug adaptor that I've got is not much bigger than the power lead head and would be lucky to weigh 50g. It works the same way as a double adaptor. Plus it in and plug the lead into it. my inverter on the other hand weighs a bit more!

[davewil1964]

I'd trust the inverter.

If I was ever silly enougjh to buy things that didn't run on 240v, 50 Hz. or a USB.
