If it helps my package arrived this morning.
Yours got shipped on the 21st right? Mine was supposed to be shipped on the 16th and I am still waiting for it!
I have filed a claim with paypal as I believe the package might be lost or something went wrong.. this sucks!
If you really are in Hong Kong there probably is a problem (perhaps with confiscation by customs inspectors), but less than a month has passed and if you're really somewhere in the west you shouldn't be so bent out of shape with a free shipping international package. If you know that the item has cleared customs you should try tracking it in your own country. Also, if you purchased expedited shipping you should have access to detailed tracking about the package.
When I ordered my iPlayer during the late spring/early summer there weren't any holidays going on that would have affected the delivery of my package, shipped from Shenzhen, China to Tucson, Arizona, but it still took a month. They did say it'd probably be a minimum of 14 days. It was not Shoptemp that I ordered from (that time), though.
PayPal is a shitty company that isn't even a Bank and has a reputation for screwing over clients, in many cases with no clear benefit to any one in the transaction except for PayPal's motives to earn interest on the money themselves while it is locked by their "policy abiding" investigations... because they do
invest earn interest on your money unless you withdraw it to your bank account or spend it. They have also outright stolen amounts of money from people when both parties had a happy and successful, completely harmonious (legal, authorized by PayPal TOS, and documented) transaction.
They operate this way because they are so influential they expect people to give up pursuit of any court action against them, and most do. It is a bit of trouble in most places to hire a legal advocate or attorney and file legal claims against PayPal in order to recover money, and knowing this, they stomp on people.
Opening a dispute about a transaction with PayPal that you know is involved with someone whose account that was already locked will probably get you nowhere, and if you are issued a refund and wind up receiving the product, the sellers have no way of recovering that money they were owed. (If their account is totally locked down, the seller may not even be able to participate at all in the dispute resolution.)
