I bought a CD a few months ago from eBay, the seller was in the UK. Payment was over the Invoice service "Klarna", who bill you only after you received your goods. A trackable shipping label was done, but the order was never actually shipped. A few weeks passed, nothing came. Then one day, perhaps six weeks or so later, Klarna send me the invoice. I told them (via online form) that I received no goods, they told me to contact eBay. I told eBay, and they canceled my order and canceled my bill. Everything was fine. Except I still did not have the CD... went back to eBay... and the same seller is still selling the same CD for the same price. Hmmm... tempted to re-order it.

I wouldn't.
What was the CD you were after? I'm selling mine, perhaps I might have it.

The seller was worldofbooksde and seems actually pretty legit. ( https://www.ebay.de/str/worldofbooksde ).
The CD I was after was ANGELS IN AMERICA by Thomas Newman.
I just ordered it again from the same retailer.... it says it will be here at around "December 8th".
As I said, I do not know exactly what the problem was the first time I ordered. I ordered, and a trackable shipping label was printed. Then nothing happened. When I contacted eBay, they asked me if I asked for order cancellation or if I was still interested in receiving the CD. I said I was still interested in receiving the CD. My order was immediately canceled and refunded. I didn't lose any money, so no problem there. Which is why I'm now perfectly willing to give it a second try.

With World Of Books you take pot luck I'm afraid. I have ordered from them many, many times.
You can get incredible deals from them but there is also a chance that the item doesn't turn up and you have to contact them. They should cancel the order. Which has also happened to me many times.
The problem is, they list one item on multiple websites. So if you buy it from Amazon Marketplace and it sold on ebay.co.uk 5 minutes earlier, you're screwed.
World Of Books sell on all the regional variants of Amazon (USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain), regional ebay sites, Abebooks, Biblio... That's a LOT of listings for one item. Whomever buys first gets the item. The other listings can stay up hours before they're taken down.

Thanks for the info. I will wait, and if it won't come, just cancel the order.

No sorry, that's not one of the titles I'm selling.
@#$%! auto correct on smartphones. I meant of course "which is why I'm now perfectly willing to give it a second try.

And it worked on my second try. I received the CD yesterday.

When the CD you ordered doesn't arrive....
Then what you need to do is to go into the corner of your room, hunch down, put your head in your hands and rock back and forth slowly while murmuring to yourself.
Works for me.
