What is the etiquette on these things? How long is long enough to wait for the winner to make an appearance?

The business day after I get a shipping notice I feel comfortable talking about it. But to each their own and when the item is in hand is as safe as it gets concerning a buyer backing out. There is no formal rule about talking about auctions which are ongoing or have ended.
