How long before posting ?

I have bought something that was £75 two days ago and nothing from seller...how long do I wait before I can contact them ? Just to ask them when it’s going to be posted.
It’s just as a seller myself I always ‘despatch’ quickly after payment.

Normally people are quite quick, but for some reason this is making me twitchy.

What do they say in the postage section? Sometimes it says 'normally posts within x days of cleared payment'. If the seller has good feedback, I wouldn't worry after two days. I'd give it up to a week before querying.

Also, some sellers don't mark as dispatched at the point of posting.

Two days ago was Friday. Not even a working day has passed. No need to panic. I wouldn’t be remotely concerned at this point. I’d say if it hasn’t been posted by the end of Tuesday (that’s 2 working days), then drop them a polite message.

Thanks, the seller has no previous selling/buying history but I couldn’t resist a ‘bargain’.
I’ll calm down until end Tuesday Smile

the seller might already have posted it and if new forgotten to tick the dispatched button

Thanks - I just got the email from eBay to say it had been marked as despatched Smile hopefully all will be fine.
