eBay Problem

Trigger · 3 Jun 2006 at 10:15

Hi,

Yesterday, I won an item on eBay and was going to sort out payment today. Now I have checked the seller's feedback again and it says he is no longer registered with eBay so I have sent him a message saying that I am refusing to complete the transaction due to this fact. Is there anything I need to do before I can find and bid for another item of this type?

Thanks

Ben

Well he can't do anything if he isn't a registered seller anymore, can't leave feedback or even log into his eBay account, so just leave it

nop as far as i know if he is no longer a registered user you dont have to pay if you do not want to

Same thing happened to me once, I sent the guy an e-mail and he'd been suspended for not paying ebay fees.

That's what seems to have happened here- eBay seems to have removed his account.

Well thanks for that anyway, much appreciated

if they become unregistered you dont need to complete the transaction. same is for sellers when buyers become unregistered.

He may be back, though. I believe eBay displays the same 'Not a registered user' message when a user just gets suspended for a week, etc. That happened with one of my buyers.
