when to contact seller about item being posted?

[2ombie5layer]

I won an aution on Sunday evening and paid straight away by paypal. Anyway Ive had nothing to say that the items had been dispatched. Will it show as being paid as I paid by paypall? I am aware that the seller doesnt want to send the item out before he/she has been paid, but I was under the assumption that paypal was instant.

They have 100% positive feedback and comments mentioned about good communication and quick arrival of previous items.

Its a fancy dress outfit I need for Fri 2nd March. I was hoping to get it soonish as I want to make sure it fits and looks ok so if it doesnt I have time to get something sorted.

When should I contact them to ask if its been sent yet?

Good idea Piglet. I havent left feedback as yet, but will do. I havent had any communication from them so they can wait for feedback. It will be positive.

don't forget feedback is voluntary - you don't have to leave any at all if you don't want to. And if you do leave it, it is your opinion of the whole transaction. I do think the seller was a bit rubbish - if they had just told you when it was or would be posted then you would have been more than happy.
