Howdy,
I sold on Ebay and several other sites internationally and have had close to
1000 transactions, be patient, International sales are not always easy. There
could be a number of reasons for the seller not being as prompt as he/she
could. Give it another week then use safe harbor to run interference for you.

I hope that this helps
