If they are not replying, then I would say 3 weeks is enough. If you paid by Paypal I would open a complaint. That should get their attention. If that fails escalate it to a dispute.

I have purchased a number of items for HK and it normally takes a week at most.
Its only 15quid so it doesn't bother me that much but what does annoy me is they don't reply when you have a problem And i will name them if i don't get satisfaction

I think I have one at home. I will have a look and see if I can post something.

Thanks Don and Kim
The reason i ask is i have an F28-80mm which is a little wobbly at the front. But the 28-80 does not have the bezel. From what i can make out you unscrew the front element as you would the bezel on the 35-70 and i assume the screws that tighten it are under there : :

So if you remove those screws does that remove the front element :

Very cool, but does it support half-press for auto focus?

Sorry for hijacking this thread but i have another E-bay related question :arrow: How long does one wait before commencing a dispute for non reciept of goods : I purchased a filter from a HK based company over 3 weeks ago. I generally wait 2 weeks before e-mailing anyone if i have not recieved my order and i have sent 3 to this company over the last week without reply. They seem a reputable company with over 10,000 transactions and a feedback rating of 99.6%. The negatives they have recieved all relate to postage and communication. Should i give it another week or commence proceedings :

Having lost the hood from my 18-55, I spotted an ebay listing for one. The seller claimed that her lens had been stolen and she was selling the hood - we're only talking £8 here. Some weeks went buy and I realised I might have opted for surface mail from the USA; some more weeks went buy and I contacted the seller - 'it must have gone missing, I just happen to have another one' (really!!!)' I'll send you that' some weeks have gone by and I conatcted her again 'I've been ill and forgot to post it'. I now know that there is nothing that can be done because it is time barred by both ebay and paypal. I've only lost a few quid and I'm not sure why because there cant be an international scam involving Pentax lens hoods at £8!
Raise the issue as soon as you can and check ebay and paypal rules, however, postage from HK to UK takes 3 weeks minimum.It might be worth waiting a little longer.
And as i said it usually only takes a week from HK too Aust. I checked into his feedback a little more and noticed a UK buyer purchased the same item as i did 4 days after me and then logged his pos feedback on the 12th nov Thats 2 weeks i make it and he got his item i am assuming :
