Should I be worried if I bought an item on etsy, and it hasn't even been shipped yet?

Only if its been a month or longer, and some shops will tell you it would be awhile especially if it's a handcrafted item. Sometimes it could take longer than usual for those shops who ship quick, but it's usually happens when you order around a holiday, especially close to Thanksgiving or Christmas.

In the past there were two different shops I ordered from. What's funny is the shops had a lot of good reviews, some weren't good reviews because of never receiving the item.

Went to buy a Mass Effect print, it kept telling me paid. After a month finally contacted the seller, never heard back from them. Went through Etsy and got a refund, and I wasn't the only one that had the problem.

Attempted to buy an amulet of Mara necklace, never recieved my order. Contacted the seller, she looked at it, and it was lost in logistics. She gave me a refund.

If it's an already made item and its been like a month or longer, I'd contact the seller to find out what's going on.

If they take a long time to ship you might be getting what you ordered cause if they plan on cheating you - they could ship right away, I ordered a shark and got something that did not even look like a shark. They scammed me.

If u did talk to the seller, if u can't contact them hopefully u did by PayPal and can charge back or u have to call your bank and see if they will do a charge back.

Etsy can be very slow to ship anything.
