How long it takes to receive an item you bought on eBay depends on the seller you bought it from. Usually, the seller will specify method of shipping in the auction listing. Most people use USPS Priority for smaller items and UPS Ground for larger items.
If an item is shipped via USPS Priority, it takes 2-3 days to deliver it. UPS ground usually takes 5-6 business days and they don't deliver on Saturday.
The real question is how long does the seller take to actually ship your item. This is at the sole discretion of the seller. They can take anywhere from 1-7 days without drawing ire from eBay.
If you are in a hurry to get an item, it is best to contact the seller prior to bidding on the item to see if they will expedite the shipping. Even after the bidding is over, you should still contact the seller about the possibility shipping it out quickly. Occasionally buyers have contacted me about needing the item quickly and I will try to ship it out the next day.
Expedited shipping can only happen if you paid via Paypal as the seller will receive your money instantly. If you had to mail your payment, the seller will have to wait for your payment to arrive.
In any case, it doesn't hurt to contact the seller to see if your item has shipped and to ask for a tracking number.
Good luck,
Bill

It depends on the sellers policy. You should try contacting them. Some will send it as soon as they receive payment. Some will wait until the money posts in their checking account, which is what I do because I've had bad experiences with that. It also depends on how they ship, and where it is being shipped from. It can take 3 days to 5 days if they're using UPS, USPS may be slightly slower. I'm not familiar with FedEx, but I'm sure they take about the same time as UPS.

Go back and read the item description. It should give you the shipping method.
Then, at the top of the listing, the seller should have the item location listed.
You can estimate the amount of shipping time based on the shipping method and the distance it's traveling.

depends on how it was shipped and what you paid for.
express shipping costs more, and can be there in a few days
USPS can be 6 - 10 days.
to international, can be weeks
the seller should have outlined that when you paid?

eBay doesn't ship anything, ever, the sellers do.
Contact the person you bought from.
