There may be no progress bar apparent for Mavericks in the App Store. It may be a bug associated with this particular download.


To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.


If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.


Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
