Hello Vickie,
I am sure you item will be along soon and it will work out very well, but you have a feedback of 1 and for many sellers that means you will not know about buyer protection and ebay claims policy. Hence, they can take advantage of you.
Almost every day here there is a story of someone who bought an item from China and it never arrived, and s/he got kindest, most earnest sounding messages from the seller, -- to delay the buyer past the 45 day deadline.
If the item does not arrive after 4 weeks, open a dispute and escalate to a claim as soon as possible. Some sellers have stooped to telling a new buyer "Close the claim and I will refund you". Do not close it until you have either your item or your money first. Once you close a claim you can never reopen it.
