Bought dh an Xbox 360 to cover Xmas and his birthday in February - Thought I was being ever so clever!

I paid for it on 18th by 2nd chance offer. The seller contacted me to say the winning bidder was an 'African Conman' and would I like it instead? Excited I said yes and paid via PayPal.
I paid £10 postage and asked when I should expect it. By Thursday he said.

It is still not here and as a result have had to tell dh anyway which I'm really pissed off about as it was meant as a surprise.

Dh last night emailed him asking him where it was and was there a tracking number we could have? No reply.
I have today mailed him explaining £200 is a lot of money to us and I am concerned as it is not here, can he contact me by end of today. I have said I do not mean to cause offence or alarm but I am concerned.
He only had a feedback score of 2 but I thought 'Give the guy a go'. First time I've bought from someone lower than 30. One of his feedback comments was 'Slow to post'.

How long do I wait before I go any further?

Thanks for reading this far. I feel so stupid, I really need some advice!

magnolia- i have the contact details and it is a lady. i called the number and a guy answered saying the woman is his sister who is currently not in.
i believe him as i didnt tell him who i was till i rang the second time and he kept asking who was calling. i told him it was regarding an ebay transaction. he said she will be in around 2-3 tomorrow.
anyone think i should try at a different time to that in case hes trying to cover for her?
