    Default ebay general question for you pros

    hey all,

    I just bought something off ebay, and pretty much paid for it instantly, and now the ebay user is no longer registered, and I can't file a dispute because it was won recently. Do i just wait it out til I file a dispute or do i have to go another method?

    cheers

    That happened to me once, in my situation i had access to their email and communicated with the seller directly. They never told me the reason but they were registered again soon after and the sale went on smoothly. Good luck!

    Me too. I paid and sweated for a week or two but then the parcel arrived. The seller in my case never became a registered user again though.

    I believe eBay still covers you though. Well I hope so!

    Sometimes its just either an administrative or technical glitch of ebay's system. I'd say wait for the seller to reply and email ebay after a week if nothing happens...

    I think you're facing the same error that I (and probably everyone else) occasionally do. It's just that Firefox isn't as descriptive of the error as Safari is. Just keep refreshing, come back in five, or change to a different ebay domain (i.e. .com.au to .com)

    I've encountered that a couple of times in the past as well.

    The seller/s & I spoke directly through private email & everything was perfect!

    Don't sweat it Mate...

    more than likely he hasn't paid his seller fees

    once he does you should be able to contact him
