you can claim your money back through Paypal.

[edwebb18]

can you explain how to do that please?

[darklisruthven]

Login to your paypal, go to buyer protection, and then click "resolution centre"

I know this advice comes a bit late: but wait till you hear from the seller before parting with money in the future, just to make sure they are still around

oh agreed totally. Its well worth sending the seller a message while you are thinking of bidding, to check they are "online" thats my one gripe about the "run until sold auctions" they are a great convenient idea, but it allows someone to list something, then wander off (metaphorically speaking) and forget.

thank you, & im new to this, this is my first buy from here, so i didnt know really what to do about it.

thats ok, I think most of us have learned to navigate our way through things through trial and error I hope you are able to get it all sorted with a minimum of hassle.

I agree. Its like finding a shop all packed with excellent things and then no one is around to let you buy anything. Very disappointing.

More and more are coming back here. Maybe we will see the shopkeepers putting on their aprons again and sweeping the front steps. From what I saw last night on the other side, sales are not booming there with the new rules, good time to make the break and return to us!

Let us know how it turns out. Looks like the seller has been closed, strike one, now all of you need that money back in your pockets!
