Delivery delay of scam?

[drpeake]

I Purchased an item from China.
Paid on the 15th of last month. The shipping number will not show up on the China post web site.

Seller said wait a few weeks.

Is this reasonable or is this a way to send me past the 45 paypal days.

I notice the sames items are now 3 times the price.

I was wondering if an item was accidentally undersold, could the "lost in the post" be a way of getting out of supplying by just refunding the money etc?

Cheers

Open a dispute via paypal assuming that is how you paid.

This will allow another 20 days for the item to arrive.

Depending how patient you are if nothing has arrived with in 10 days escalate to a claim.

Most purchases from there only take 10 to 14 days.
