@pokemon, i did the payment by patpal, however it is still saying unclaimed

Yes - now I received.
I had to convert it from GBP to EUR manually (could also open an GBP account). Paypal was waiting about acceptance.
But now I did and received payment.
And I have payment from SirMorris and 1024Mak too. So don't worry.
Due to much work tomorrow I will send all items at friday this week.

By the way one question about it.
I saw in many web shops information concerning "shipment".
One colleague mentioned that the correct terminus is dispatching (or dispatchment) instead of shipping.
I heard first time and now wondering which is correct.
Maybe this differs from UK / US and third party countries.
Just for my interest.

Shipping is fine It's understood by most English speakers.

[PokeMon]

He come from South Africa and is a bit strange.
He say, they call it dispatching not shipping.
Anyway I never heard before.

Don't worry, there are lots of different terms that have very similar meanings and which are often used interchangeably.
In no particular order:

post / posting / posted / mail / mailed
shipping / shipped / shipment (sometimes called a consignment)
sending / sent / send off / sent off
and
dispatch / dispatching / dispatched

sometimes:
forward (for items that go via a third party)

receiving:
deliver, delivery, delivered

All are used (some more often than others) by British English. Some are more often used by the Americans (and have become more common due to the number of American television shows and films / movies shown in Britain).

Shipping is, maybe, something to do with our history of transporting goods and trading via ships sailing around the world
