Depends on what type of shipping you paid for. Contact the seller, they'll be able to tell you when they sent it, from where the package is originating and what type of shipping they used. We here on Yahoo Answers can't possibly answer this accurately for you.
For all I know the seller is in Russia and sent it regular post.

UPS and FedEx Ground service can take a week or a few days longer than that, depending on holidays, unhpredictable circumstances (truck breaks down, weather, etc). Remember, they only work on "business" days, which are Monday through Friday. More expensive shipping options will work on weekends, but the person shipping the item to you may not.
FedEx air service is three to four business days.
Any shipments comming from outside the United States will have to pass through customs, and this can add a day, sometimes two or three, depending on the workload customs in that airport or harbor is dealing with. Sometimes your item is shipped with others on the same batch, and customs may hold the crate or container due to the nature of other items sharing the space with yours.
FedEx, UPS, and now even the US Post Office (for any Priority mail) can track shipments. Most respectable Ebay sellers will email you the tracking number once they have shipped the item. With this tracking number, you can follow the item from the moment it is picked up, to the various distribution sites, and finally to the truck en-route to your home.
If the seller claims to have used UPS, FedEx, or USPS Priority, and did NOT provide you a tracking number, contact them immediately, and ask for it. If they try to convince you that they do not have it, that is suspicious.
Sometimes you can use the shipper's address (where you probably sent payment to) to have FedEx or UPS cross-reference against your own address to find the shipment.
However, Ebay has a standard policy on reporting a seller -- you must wait 10 days from the close of the auction before you can register a complaint with Ebay.
If you used Paypal, you can also register a complaint. Using Paypal means you also used a debit/credit card, and the banks are also good at investigating fraud.
I hope this answers your question.

It can take a while for the banks to process your payment unless you used paypal. Even then some sellers wait until the money is transferred to their bank account from paypal.
Then it may take a few day to post it. Some sellers only post once or twice a week specially if they live in a remote place and it's a major trip to get to a post office. It can sometimes take a couple of weeks occasionally more.
If you are worried use the contact seller option and ask then when they posted it. It's safer to contact people through eBay itself & not use your own email program.
If you don't have it in a few weeks and have had no response, first check that money has gone from your account. Then you can use the ebay site to report an item not received.

It depends on the seller. They have a certain amount of time they are allowed to ship purchases out before they are considered delinquent. Most good sellers will get their items out as quickly as possible but there are some who seem to sit on an order until the very last. And sometimes a shipment will not make it through the delivery service. If your seller hasn't notified you yet that the shipment has been sent out, you can email him/her to ask for that information--most sellers are prompt and friendly in replying (makes for good business relations).

first of all, its not coming from Ebay, its coming from the person that sold you the item. Shipping time will depend on a number of things. First, where does the seller live? The farther he is from you, the longer it will take. Second, what is the shipping method? ground? Air? ground will take longer than air. Also, if its coming from another country, it will take even longer, since it will need to go through customs.

depends on how you paid. if you paid by check or echeck, they have to wait for payment to clear first. check the auction listing. does it say how long before they ship it? some places ship the next day, some not for a few days. if it's been too long, contact the seller and ask them if they have shipped it yet. it also depends on how they mail it. priority mail would be faster than parcel post.

That usually depends what is stated on the page on who is selling the item. You should go back to your records and check out the shipping and if it doesn't state it you should ask the seller.

look to see if you paied for the item. send feed back to the seller, check to see what the shiping you used. (some take 7-10 days). sometimes sellers dont send items right away (like 2-3 days after they got the money)

Depends on where the sender is, how he shipped it, and the amount he paid to have it shipped to you. Normal shipping could take up to 1-2 weeks.
If it doesn't arrive, contact the sender to see what the problem is.

It depends on where you bought it from and what delivery company is being used. I bought a sd from Hong Kong and it got to my house in Canada in a bout a month.
