I'm in the boat of "no sympathy for the sellers." The buyers are the ones putting it on the line with the greatest chance of being dicked, if someone doesn't pay for your auction you just relist. I've been dicked by "dealing" with sellers for too long and then not being able to file any kind of official "get my money back" motions, so you've got 30 days for it to show up on my doorstep or I'm getting my money back, plain and simple.
At two weeks, i sent him an email asking whats up, (auction closed May 7), on may 23 he sends me an email saying he was on vacation in florida, and it'll be shipped tomorrow. I don't care how you ship it, if it was shipped the 24th it'd be here by the second, and it's not. So now it's on the seller to salvage his feedback to only a neutral and not a negative.
And for the record, people are far too conservative with negatives on ebay. Leaving a negative feedback for a horribly packed item will make that seller learn their lesson.
