Uh-oh, I think I may have just been ripped off on ebay
RayB:
Jeez. 1 week and you jump to the conclusion you've been ripped off? On what basis? Where is he located and where are you located? What's the exact date and time you placed your order?
I sell CD-ROMs online and I DO NOT contact my customers when they purchase a CD. I don't have time to write out emails to every customer. I just take the order then ship it out without contact. Maybe that's how he operates too.

PS: I also don't process orders on the weekend.

I'll have to agree with everyone else here. A week ago would be last wednesday. Assuming he got it in the mail thursday, you're only looking at 4 or 5 business days depending on who he shipped with. He also may only ship once or twice a week so it may not have went out til Friday or some such.
Give it a few more days.

Thanks for all your replies - I'm not feeling so worried now.
I did not realise that "ebay mail" picks up your e-mail address and sends via that, I had been using a yahoo account so its very likley that everything I sent to him got spam filtered.
I have changed my account to use a "proper" e-mail address to avoid this problem in future.
It wasn't the time that concerned me (i'm in NZ so shipping will probably take 10 days at the very least), what had me worried was that I had not heard anything back from the requests for confirmation.
And by the sounds of it he had never received those requests thanks to my yahoo account.
I have taken your advice Zaphod and checked feedback which has been posted
So i'd say it's starting to look more and more like I've just made a fool of myself.
Will let you all know when the buttons arrive to CONFIRM that I have made a fool of myself

I purchased two separate items, a trackball and the same pushbuttons from tornadoterrysdot with Buy it Now. Both times the items arrived within a week. I wouldn't worry about it, I would buy from him again.

It's also summertime. If the guy is a large seller maybe he took a vacation for a week or two.
