Ebay seller not responding to messages??

Question

So I purchased a playstation 3 about ten days ago on ebay and I immediately payed through paypal. Since the item was takin a little while to come I decided to send him an email to ask if he had shipped the item yet. And now it is six days since I sent the message and he still hasnt replied. The seller had 93.3% feedback and got good comments from the buyers so im pretty sure hes reliable. But im just wonderin what else besides messages can I do to contact this guy? thanks!

Answer 1

That's the best means of contact.  I would contact eBay if you don't hear back from the Seller, or receive your item soon.

Answer 2

When i was selling my laptop , I had all sort of fake offers from nigeria etc.

One offer was from usa , but the buyers id was stolen.

So when someone finally payed by paypal, I did not collect immediately and waiting until if someone notices their purchase was unauthorized.

Next after collecting the amount , I contacted the buyer to find out if she really paid and communicated.

Finally I shipped a bit late,due to formating , deleting personal data etc... But the delay was worth the security in case some one was snoozing while their id was stolen...

In your case he is not responding at all. May be he is in the hospital...   ?

Answer 3

You can login to Paypal and put in a payment dispute. They will contact him, and if he doesn't respond, they will refund your money.

Answer 4

just so you know 93.3% isnt very good feedback, its mediocre at best. But ebay usually sides with the buyer anyways so you should be ok. If he doesn't reply and after awhile you dont receive it, keep contacting ebay and also file a claim with paypal so that you can get your money back. It's a pain in the butt but at least you wont lose all your money.
