I message sellers, and like hey just curious if you had mailed my package, and every time except once they were all very nice about it and said either yes and when they mailed it or no and when they were going to mail it. I did once have a woman who I didn't get something from in about month, my first purchase from ebay ever, and wrote her a very nice note asking her if she had mailed the pin, and she wrote me this message back that her husband was dying of cancer, and her son had just died in a fiery car accident and how dare I bother her with something as petty as my ebay purchase. I wrote her back said I was very sorry for her loss and what she was going through and if she would just refund me my payment I'd just leave her alone, well another month went by and then I just went to paypal and asked for my money back and she gave it to me and 3 days later when I went to the mailbox there was my pin. That's probably the only bad or well I guess odd is the more appropriate term I've ever had on ebay. So I'd just msg your seller and ask if they have sent the birdies yet...:shrug:
