true a week isnt long.. but me PERSONALLY, Id expect the item to be sent next day and be with me by the most 5 days later.. Its not unreasonable to expect that, as once the auction ends, the item should go..

Also, I am very impatient, hence wanting things straight away.. Like alot of people

If someone is good enough to pay straight away, the least someone could do, is send straight away

Unfortunately I dont know where you stand, but to be taken to small claims after a week is wrong
