Bought an item on a Thursday evening, paid for it right away via Paypal and heard nothing from the seller for over two days now.  I did send him a message after one day asking about reciept of payment and estimated shipping but nothing.

The handling time is two business days.  Friday was one.  Monday is two.  Be patient.  Don't worry until it's past the estimated delivery date.

Check the listing, does the seller say they will ship within 1 day?  Do they say they only ship a couple times a week, only ship certain days?  Sellers do things like that, check the listing.  

 

Ebay has buyer protection which will insure you get the item or your money back.

 

Read up on buyer protection.

The seller NEVER has to notify a buyer of receipt of payment or shipping. When you pay, you receive a receipt from PayPal. The seller is expected to ship within his handling time under most circumstances and you should expect to receive your item within the estimated delivery window plus about a week to allow for delays due to weather, misroutings, etc.
