Done like a kipper on ebay: what to do?

I've been waiting a suspiciously long time for something I ordered on ebay - a sports goods co, not an individual seller. At first they answered my emails; now silence. I paid by Paypal about 2 weeks ago and the item was allegedly despatched on 27 Nov for next day delivery.
Questions: how long do I give them, as it is Xmas and it was being sent in the post?
Then if it still doesn't arrive, what should I do? I have only ordered twice on ebay before and both times were ok. Thanks for any advice.

It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted
I live in my head - I find it's safer there:p

When you posted this it had actually only been six working days since they sent it. I would let them know now and then give them another update in a couple of days i.e. after the weekend. :j0
