  I paid for an item using instant check out 4 business days ago, I've had
no contact from the seller and no change in the order status since, how long
should I leave it before contacting the seller to get an update on the order

it is never a problem to ask the seller after 4 days:

CHATGPT: "Hi, I was wondering if you could provide me with an update on
the status of my order? I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you."

but be more patient: with status and shipments.
look in the terms if you can find a clue for shipment times

  In Problem Order, BHawk writes:
  Hi everybody,

I have an issue with a MISB order I recently placed (and received) and want to
return to the seller for a refund, but am not sure about how to proceed with
it if the seller refueses.

Upon inspecting the received set box, I noticed that the tape seals seem to have
been carefully unglued and resealed, there is MINIMAL tearing on the box (it
is actually visible if you closely inspect the box photo the seller sent me,
the photo is not from a good angle and lighting, but I paid no attention to it
then, I didn't want to be nitpicky about it - mind you, the set is from 2023.,
not a discontinued set).

I already have an identical set, also MISB, and I weighted both of them, the
difference is 2 grams - now, I suspect the seller might have opened the set and
took the minifigure out, but of course I cannot confirm it without opening the
set - and if I do, I doubt I can return it to sender for a refund since it would
no longer be considered MISB (and also, how do I prove that I'm not the one
who took out a part/minifigure).

How should I proceed if the seller refuses a return and refund?

I know this is a serious accusation (and also maybe even a fake accusation on
my side!) which I cannot prove or disprove without opening the set, that's
why I'd rather return the set to the seller - if I open it and discover that
indeed something is missing, how do I prove that I'm not the one who opened
it up and took a piece and also if I do return it to the seller the set lost
some value if it's not MISB anymore; I use a kitchen scale with 1g accuracy

Maybe I'm just too paranoid about the whole situation.

It is one of those sets you cannot buy from a LEGO store separately but you get
it as a gift after spending a certain amount of money, that's why I ordered
it from a BL shop.

I'll see what can be done with the seller, for now they are refusing a return+refund,
although their shop said nothing about not accepting refunds while ordering.
They have all positive reviews, one neutral, and not a single negative review,
I wouldn't like to ruin their praise.

It could be both.

Maybe, just open the set and build it.
That way you know if the set is complete (or not)
If something is missing so be it. Tell the seller and be happy what you get.
Reading your story it is not a big deal while it is a GWP from 2023.

This is what i would do.

  Hi,
I'm looking for a Technic part similar to
 
Part No: 27940  Name: Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Hub with 2 Axles
* 
27940 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Hub with 2 Axles
Parts: Technic, Connector {Dark Bluish Gray}
but then with a axle hole instead of a pin hole. Or another solution that gives
me the possibility to connect a central axle to two connectors 90 degrees rotated.

Like this?

I've looked at that part too but it has no technic connections. As I understand
you can only inset bars into the ends.
