Your seller would probably ship EMS Air which to the States should take max 2 weeks before you get your arrival notice.
.... of course that assumes he sent your package out soon after he got your money.
Not a nice position to be in. Good luck mate

If they're shipping from Japan it may take a while, like a few weeks. You say you ordered them this past Sunday and you're already worried? It's only been 2 days. If the guy has good feedback then he probably has multiple sets of headlights for sale that he's using the same picture for.
Just relax for a couple weeks and if they haven't arrived then send the seller an email or contact paypal.
It hasn't been long enouph where I'd worry about it....If 2 or 3 weeks have gone by and still no word or package, then I'd try contacting the person and seeing if they got it shipped out yet.

http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/ems/index_en.htmlIf your seller wants it to get to you efficiently then it would be with EMS.
... Otherwise it will go post and the ship will take a couple weeks before customs gets your package.

Dont worry about it - you just ordered it. The seller won't ruin his reputation on ebay. EMS means Express Mail Shipping or service similar to our USPS express mail. Normally since I am closer to Japan it takes 3 days or less. Since you are further around a weeks time. Just chill

it took 10 days for me to get something from hong kong recently.
when i ship stuff (i'm in japan), i ship through USPS, and it takes a 7-10 days to reach it's destination in the states, dependent upon where they are in the states. the shipper may not have access to USPS, which mean's that it's sent via international mail, which tends to take longer. and what flyinglizard said, i can agree with that, celica's end up in yards over here all the time, it's not crazy if he has a bunch of parts to sell. a couple of guys in this thread bought from me, and they can vouch for how long it takes.
