I haven't experience with that seller, but I have noticed shipping can often take a while. I've had many shipments not have a tracking number, but so far everything I bought on Ebay did end up at my doorstep (bought maybe 30 or 40 items so far???....uhm ok, maybe 50! 😜).

Keep an eye on it. Paypal and eBay only give you about 2 months to lodge a dispute. If it's not arrived in another 2 weeks ask for a refund. If you don't get the refund make sure you lodge a dispute before the time runs out. Having said that, its a big item and I assume you're shipping …

For 90 bucks of shipping I expect real time GPS updates 😁 If it goes on a plane, it shouldn't take long. But it they sent it via surface (boat) then you can wait months. I looked into these options when I got all my Roland gear from Japan. In the end I went with EMS and the service was fantastic.

These days when people say they're going to upgrade their computer, what they really mean is they're going to build or buy a whole new one... Upgrading or adding to existing hardware doesn't seem to be as popular these days (i blame Intel).

Simply put, never ever consider things such as "upgradeability". It's a marketing term to lure you to buy a certain product but the IT world moves so fast, not worth it. With so much overclocking headroom these days, who really upgrades the CPU these days? So yea, don't worry about upgradeability. …

If you buy an Asrock board, it comes with this XFast USB software. This works quite well, speeds up the data transfer. It's especially effective for lots of small files.

If i find a second hand case, then i could build the stuff in that case.. AT cases are very hard to get.. If i had my moped car i could go to fli markets …

Robin4, your case might be at your country's import Customs centre. Perhaps they are waiting for an import customs payment to be made? Maybe you have not received a letter from your Customs centre, telling you about this situation?

If the seller has no proof of shipment ask him for a refund. If he won't do that file a dispute on ebay/paypal. Although it might be too late as they only give you 2 months or so to do that.
