He may well just have sent the item out when the payment was recieved. I would not worry yet. Have you messaged him? Just a light friendly "hi, wondered when to expect x, just to make sure I am in".

Hopefully it will be fine, make sure all your messages go through ebay though so you know that they are logged IYSWIM!

If the status is unclaimed he is either a new seller who is a bit thick or paypal holding funds until they become verified or if they have disputes going through. They can also hold funds if their DSR are low.

Had same thing with a seller who just repeatedly says will post when payment received even though I have paid. I kept saying you have to send within 7 days, I rang paypal who told me they do not have a paypal account that's why they can't claim the money! No way am I going to send them a cheque as if they don't then send the item I have no comeback.
