Whats the link to the auction?!

Did they have a good feeback rating?! (not that this always helps!!)

Personally mate i would NEVER do a money tranfer using ebay especially for that amount as you have no way of getting the money back easily

At least if it was card u could report it as a fraudulent transaction

Well by the looks of it they seem a legit company mate by the amout of transaction they've done and the fact they offer loads of payment methods including paypal!!

So fingers crossed its just taking a lil while for it to arrive

When did you buy it ?

Wire transfer takes around 4 working days to complete, then shipping 3 - 5 days. You should be looking at upto a possible 10 day delay then.

And as R4NN says Paypal will re send a seperate 4 digit code for you to confirm your legit if you call them up

Chances are it will come by UPS not Fed-Ex

We have been delivering loads of them recently all from the same place in Hong Kong, the sellers always seem to advertise Fed-Ex/DHL but they come with us.

Once shipped it will take 2-5 days providing it doesnt get held up.

Oh yeah and expect to pay £40-£50 Customs charges on arrival.

I bought something from someone in Hong Kong off of ebay and took 3 days to arrive at my door after paying! More efficient than our VVanky Royal mail!!!!
