Yeah, not sure what the problem is in China.
I have a guy there who refuses use PayPal.
If you pay in US$ it's no probs from your end, But when the Chinese person tried to transfer the US$ into their own bank account they are charged heaps as an exchange fee.

The time delay could be something to do with government intervention.
Having lived in China for a few yrs I know that it's very difficult to do anything without the Gov wanting to know what's going on.
As a "foreigner" every bit of mail I sent or received was opened & inspected. Anything of value which was included was usually stolen.
