Happened to me twice now. The Estimated Delivery date on the auction shows an early date than what was shown when you go and try to contact the seller for "I haven't received my item yet" category.

Example would be that I won an auction on the 5/1 which showed (and still does) estimated delivery is 5/6. I paid within 30 minutes of closing and still haven't received notification of posting the coin. When I go and try to contact the seller under "I haven't received my item yet" , it does not allow me to message the seller saying the estimated delivery date for this item is 5/8.

No wanted to ask if the item was mailed as i'd normally get shipping/tracking info within next day. Also the seller had multiple feedback of late shipping.

I don't know how ebay works with the USPS, but with Canada Post, for lettermail for example, the estimated delivery is anywhere from 2-10 business days if I remember correctly. Just wait. It will show up eventually.

EDIT: Didn't see your post.

Send them a message under shipping instead, since you are wondering when it will be shipped, as opposed to when you will receive it.

Sometimes there are tracking issues for whatever reason where it wont show up then all of a sudden it does and its out for delivery for you. That said though not everyone ships all that fast, every now and then life happens but there are sellers who just wait till the end of the week and take everything from that week at once.

I agree with Noah just shoot them a message and see what they say

I'm completely mystified by sellers who don't print their shipping labels through ebay. Not only does it automatically load tracking numbers, it's discounted from regular PO rates.
