Ebay: International estimated delivery date question

[DynaEtch]

I bought a card from an international seller on Nov 13th. Its been sitting on tracking and not moving, and it's still very early on, but I had a question about estimated delivery date.

Oddly, there is no estimated delivery date next to this item on my list of purchases. It's just a blank field. Not even a long 1-2 month delivery date because international shipping...just nothing. I went back to the item listing page and under the shipping section it just says "Estimated Delivery date varies".

Even more strange is the listing offers 14-day returns, and next to the item in my list of purchases, it says "Return Window closed Nov 27".....which is exactly 14 days after I won and paid for it, Nov 13th. Uh isnt it supposed to be 14 days after I received the item....not 14 days from the moment I paid, considering it's not even here yet? :doh: Not that I intend to do any returning here, but thought that was odd.

My question though is regarding the estimated delivery date....I dont want to be in a situation where eventually I cant file a claim if it never shows up, since Im past certain timeframes...and how do I know what that timeframe is, if there is no delivery date?

***Edit***: item randomly picked up on tracking after I made this thread (that's what it takes in my experience to get a package going, just make a thread about it). So this one looks like it'll be fine, but the no-expected delivery date is still confusing.

This works for sales too. The best way to generate sales is to complain about not getting sales.

In looking over my purchases that haven't arrived, two of them are international. One of them has an estimated delivery date on the tracking, but it is different from what is in the listing. The other has nothing on the tracking, but an estimate in the listing.
