Look in the description of the item and it should say in the Postage & Handling section.

It depends on a number of factors, including how long it takes the seller to put it in the mail, the distance of the item/seller from you, and the speed of the mail itself.

If you paid instantly through Paypal/credit card, then it usually takes, on average, about a week for the item to get to you. Sometimes less, sometimes more. My sister just ordered something from Japan last week and paid through Paypal, and it got to us here in Pennsylvania in under a week. If you paid by money order or check, then the seller will wait until they receive and cash it before sending the item, so you can expect it to take longer if that's the case.

If you want to know *exactly* how long it will take for your specific item, then your best bet would be to e-mail the seller and simply ask how long they expect it to take. Other than that, there's really no way to know.

Answer 3

Depends on your method of payment and type of shipping offered. As an eBay seller I send out items next business day after payment is made through pay pal. It usually takes about 3 to 5 business days if you pay via pay pal. I usually send via priority mail unless you opt for cheaper shipping then it goes out whatever you choose.

Best thing I suggest you do is contact the seller of your item and see if they received your payment? How soon they will ship? Anyone selling or buying on eBay has a rating. When you receive your item rate the buyer on how they did in communication with you as well as how the packaged the product and how quickly it arrived.

Keep in mind distance does play a factor, but as a rule of thumb it should be no longer than 5 to 10 business days, if not sooner.

Hope this helps!
