Thanks everyone, yes, it is not how long it takes for item to arrive, I accept post can be slow, not sellers fault if item posted in good time but held up by delivery, I sell as well.  I am confused by how a seller offers express post, you pay extra for it, then they hold item for days before posting.  I won and paid for another item on same day as this one I am waiting for, and it arrvied today via normal mail from same area in NSW, but the express one has not even been posted yet, by ebay.  I make sure I post same if not next day depending on when payment is made, I don't believe in holding up buyers, if items are ready to go.  I have asked seller for expected date of postage, if I don't get a reply to my email today some time, I will know.  Thanks again.
