I've run into several sellers that don't include tracking information with the sale. I give them two business days before I send a message asking about the status of the order. I feel that's appropriate.

Funny story, first purchase I ever made on eBay (early this year), Lajoie t206. Tracking information is given, so I figure all is well. 3 days go by, I look it up and there's no information about where it is, just that the sender had printed out the form. Contacted the seller. Turns out either someone lifted a few of his packages out of the bin (said there was a large bin for pre-paid packages) or they got lost at the Post Office. Either way, he refunded my payment quickly, so no harm there, but for a first purchase, talk about bad luck!
