Immediately following, I send the seller an email and tell him that I would like to confirm the shipping address (I think I did this because the purchase is large and I am nervous).

Nevertheless, he never replied. I checked the page where the item was listed, and it said the item had been purchased via paypal.

I checked paypal this morning, and the transaction shows complete.

I am curious, what is typical ebay behavior? Should I expect him to reply?

My dad buys a lot items on ebay and says I am just nervous because this is my first purchase on ebay and that not everyone replies to your emails, they just ship it.

How long should I wait for the shipment?
