What wallet are you using? If you're using a full wallet (Bitcoin-qt), then it could take up to 12+ hours to download the full blockchain and your transactions show.

As a beginner, you'd be better off with a wallet like Electrum or Multibit that will show your transactions almost immediately.

You can also view them here on blockchain.info, by putting your public key (the one that starts with a 1) into the search bar. Your transactions should show up, assuming nothing is going wrong with this site:

blockchain.info

Otherwise, just contact the owner, I'm guessing he'll be eager to help.
