 Since you didn't tell where you live, I can't help.

 But from mine south-american experience, packets from England come in 45~60 days, depending on the custom's humour.

I've had the exact same thing happen to me like a year ago, bought two amigas, one a500 for a friend, and one a1200 for myself from there, ended up waiting for months, nada. so i contacted the sellers, and one found out that the 1200 was sitting in some warehouse... ended up with him having it sent back, and then sent it with dhl, or was it fedex, the package arrived within a week.... Seller got a refund i believe.

You cant send anything over 2kg standard small packet airmail so they couldnt of used that for a full Amiga computer.
They would have had to have used Parcel force international I think

I had an Amiga 1200HD "go missing" (30 quid) from someone on amibay and a trumpcard (1.20, yes, 1.20) from ebay.

The chap on ebay just refunded me after a week.  My guess is that the seller just didn't want to sell it for that much!

The 1200... Well, I bought it in January.  I'm still waiting for the machine or the refund.  If anyone's seen Doog_UK, please check he's OK and ask what's going on :)

Had an A4000d motherboard take over 2 months from uk to canada.

It got stuck in customs.  Seller had to trace it.

interesting, but, from my experience, if package doesn't come within a month, it never will.

This has nothing to do with eBay. This is an all too wide spread problem with mail services around the world.
It's a shame that its so dangerous getting things shipped from "overseas", but that's just the way it is.
Roll the dice and see what shows up...
