Help re eBay?

Won an item on eBay: seller says they sent it: no sign of it: now she is offering to send me the proof of posting so *I* can make the claim. Meanwhile she has my money, and has had it for over a month. Is it reasonable for her to ask me to sort it all out? Do I have any chance at all of getting compensation for what I paid? And how long does it usually take?

Colleague G is back from our US office, notable for the absence of the client he flew out to see (who forgot to show up). All was not wasted though.

T: How is Badger (our bug/change tracking prototype) getting along?
G: Funny you should say that. I read an excellent story while I was on the plane ... just google Linux Dead Badger.
T [googling]: gosh, my friend coalescent is Reviews Editor of Strange Horizons. Small world, eh?
G: Just under 25,000 miles in circumference, actually.
