According to ebay I sent payment on the 21st Oct.
Still no postage.
But that's two stories I have read today that turned out positive!

Eeeek! Should I message her?

You probably should contact her and ask since my item was marked as posted pretty soon after I paid... Its possible she just forgot to mark it as posted though. I've also had items from other sellers arrive that were never marked as sent so who knows? Best to check/remind her anyway to be safe. If she doesn't respond by the end of the week I would probably just open a dispute to make sure

I really hope it doesn't go that way though

Just sent her mail.
I can sort of sense bad luck sniffing me out!...
nooo

Okay I'm posting the messages so far, because I can't seem to sense her tone.

But also it's funny because right after I sent my last message, she marked the item as posted! I know she might have just forgotten. And I'm probably just being paranoid. What do you ladies think?
The first message is the one at the top there.

Dear tigereyez75,
Hello,I was just looking down my list and was wondering if you had posted yet. Ebay says I paid on the 21st and seeing as it is the 25th now I was just getting a little curious. Thanks

Dear missam09,
It should have gone out Monday, I used stamps.com for some of my international work. So I will double check my lists and make sure all it taken care of and maybe the email just didnt get sent like it should. Sorry for the trouble. I will get back with you later today and confirm if its on its way. But pretty sure it is, so i will find the shipping number for you. Thanks for your patients.

QUICK EDIT!
I just noticed she has a tracking number for my pony.
I clicked,
"There is no record of this item."
Should that worry me??

I'm happy to hear that Mindy has her pony from this seller, but I understand why you are getting worried, missam
It could be that the tracking number doesnt show right away... try again a bit later today and see if anything shows up. If it doesnt then it wont hurt to message her again and let her know. Perhaps she didnt give you the right number /got a few numbers round the wrong way or something? It hasnt been very long yet since you bought the item, so try not to stress too much ATM, but like I said before- do keep an eye on your paypal deadline

Sometimes it can take 24 hours for the updated tracking info to show. But definitely keep aware of your situation. Best of luck...

All of a sudden I have no tracking number anymore!! It is gone off Ebay!?!???

When was the last time you messaged her?
Did the tracking number ever work?
Did she ever actually confirm it was posted?

Lots of questions sorry!

TBH that doesnt sound good when you consider this sellers track record
Send her one more message and ask her again for the tracking number for your item, as it didnt work and its no longer showing . Then give it a few more days. If she doesnt reply, or if she gives you a number that doesnt work again, then at this point I would open a case. Normally I would give it up to 4 weeks for an international parcel to arrive , but something sounds off with this transaction

Hope that you are able to contact her and get a proper tracking number. If you don't hear anything by this week, I would definitely open a claim.
