A business day or two (in my experience).

I've also had a package go missing for a little over a month only to be delivered with the box unharmed and no evidence of it being lost. Parcel Post seems to have the lowest of priority when it comes to the post office and for that reason I've stopped using the service. I would call customer service to document the problem, if you can find the number, and be patient. That's really all you can do since there is no delivery confirmation number.
Yeah, my first one, which took nearly 2 weeks, was Parcel Post. But my subsequent ones were Media Mail and they went faster. I have one final one to send in which came with a Parcel Post label. I have no idea what makes them print the different labels - doesn't seem to be based on either value or number of games.

Just received payment for the package they received on Monday. I didn't keep track of when I mailed but I think it took 10 days for them to receive it. The package previous to this was a lot quicker as they paid out the day after it was received, on a Saturday.

With regards to the site printing Parcel Post or Media Mail labels, here is what I have concluded from my own fiddling around with it...

It seems to be a weird glitch that depends on when you print the label. Value or number of games doesn't matter.

If you print the label initially right after you place the order, it will print a Parcel Post label.

But if you browse your instant sale orders to print (or re-print) the label for that same order, it will print a Media Mail label.

Hmmm - given that my Media Mail orders seem to have arrived much faster I may reprint my last label and see if that happens for me.

Oh, and by the way, they just acknowledged my 5th of 5 orders. I just have one more to send in now. While the lack of tracking is unnerving, the program has been great so far.

And no tracking seems really unnecessary given that ebay has negotiated some kind of discount for tracking for sellers on ebay -- and even without that it only cost like an extra 19 cents before!

I sent in 3 orders so far.

First one I sent on July 6th I got a notice that my order has "lapsed" / expired.
Second one I sent on July 6th I got a notice that my order has "lapsed" / expired.
Third one I sent in last week some time and nothing yet.

Wonder what they will do when they receive my orders that they say are expired?

That is a long time. But, ah, I see you are in HI - so, yeah, ouch on Parcel Post and Media Mail from there. It must take forever! It is bad enough from West Coast to KY.

With how long it's taking it's more likely going by row boat. I would hope that they take his location into consideration.

Just want to let everyone know that it seems the "LIMIT OF 2" is per console/upc and not per title. I just got payment for my final 3 Rayman Origins and Lego Harry Potters. Traded in a total of 2 per system each - wii, xbox 360, and ps3. Unless they really don't enforce that limit, who knows, but I'm not gonna try any more for now.

Actually... I just did. But you would think that, right?

I have feeling it would probably work but not worth it since there is always the possibility of getting your account banned in the future. It's just an honor system rule I bet.

I just initiated a trade for Resistance 3 for the second time. I just bought my third copy at Best Buy since it's on sale for $10. Traded my opened copy to half.com for $18.
