Wait. If and when you receive it that's when you finalize the transaction asap, then submit accurate feedback. If it has been three days shipping I can't imagine it would take to much longer unless it is going around the world. If for some reason it doesn't come after a reasonable amount of time try to contact the seller... then find someway to resolve the issue. I get so excited around day three although it sometimes takes a few more days.

in transit means the vendor has posted your order. Just a matter of waiting for it turn up now.

Remember to finalize (and release your cash from escrow) as soon after you get your package as possible.

5 days.

I recently shipped a firearm within the state (U.S.) I live in. Shipped it priority. Estimated delivery was 3 days, but it actually took 6 business days. Legal, paperwork, FFL, etc...

Regular priority (not just firearms) can get held up. Sequestration is in play, even if all the cuts haven't happened yet. It's already affecting morale, work ethic, etc.

Also, spend all your extra time between posts reading the Security and Shipping Discussion boards. There's an infinite wealth of knowledge there.

I wouldn't be too concerned for 3 days, especially if it is domestic. Once it get's to 5 days though, maybe like others have said contact the seller.
