How long should it take?

[rainier2004]

I am shocked to read the answers to this question. First, it does seem most auction houses do not accept payppal/cc, so there is additional waiting time for the check to be received. But Huggins and Scott sends cards immedicately once receiving the check. I get upset on ebay when i pay immediately and recieve cards 10 days later...why? I started a post on auction houses and there were tons of responses to the effect "I am willing to pay more to guarantee authenticity and a quip ship"....tell my it takes an additional 6 business day = 2 weeks until delivery? Yes, i am impatient but I pay immediately and fail to understand why it takes so long to send stuff....rant, rant....I as a seller have NEVER shipped more than 24hrs after payment received...jus my opinion though.
