Two weeks is long enough to wait before filing a claim if the seller isn't responding to your emails.

My system which has only failed once:

If no contact after two weeks I send a polite email.

If still no contact after one week I send an email stating that if I do not get a response by X (usually about three days) I will take the appropriate action with ebay and/or paypal.

As I said this has gotten a proper response in every siyuation but one.

eBay will automatically redirect you to Paypal to file a claim.

With feedback like that, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

I would send an email along the lines of:
Hello, I was the winner for your eBay auction #XXXXXXXX, (item description). I was wondering what the shipping status of the item is? I paid on XX/XX/XX and have not received the item yet. This is my third attempt to contact you, if I do not receive a response to this email by (2 days from now), I will be filing a chargeback with paypal. I assume by your excellent feedback that you are an honest dealer and the card is or will soon be mailed, but please let me know. Thanks for your time.

Best Regards,
Your Name
