EBAY how long should you wait

Recently I got a non-payment alert from ebay. Found it odd, since I had already received the card. I pointed out to the seller, that since it was unlikely he was in the practice of sending out items to first time buyers without receiving payment first, he must have in fact, received my money order. He made some vague excuse and said that he would "take care of it". He then notified ebay that all was well because we had "agreed to complete the transaction." Well,the transaction was completed 2 weeks prior and it was obvious that he was just trying to cover his butt and was not man enough to admit his mistake. My point is, he never tried to contact me first, which if he had, we could have straightened this out without his unwarranted action. So sellers can be jerks too, which I guess, is really my main point. Oh he also promised to leave me positive feedback, for which I am still waiting.
