What used to be a UK
Recently purchassed a phone 4 days ago and the seller still has not got in touch with me. The seller received the money instantly. Previously I have purchased items and received shipping confirmation within one day from other ebay...tailers. Payments were made by paypal.

Anyway, I did a little digging on the internet-electoral roll and managed to get his old address and phone number from when he was living with his parents. To add a little pressure (in case the guy is simply ignoring me) I have rang his mother and explained the situation to her. I am just sitting back and waiting to hear from him hoping this will make him think twice about conning me.She is expecting him 2 visit her in the next couple of hours. Incidently, he has used his mother's address by way of postcode to sell the itmem 2 me, which is why it was my first port of call. Have I done the right thing?
 
just the standard electoral roll but online. Just do a google for it :)
Amazing what you can find from a simple post-code. I even know the value of his mother's house lol. Though this was gained from other search engines.
 
I know I hadn't mentioned this, but, I needed to get in touch with the guy because the responsibility for paying the postage was mine. I hadn't got a clue as 2 how much it would be and so I guessed at about five pounds and then realised I might have underfunded the transaction by one-pound-fifty. I explained this 2 his mother so that she and the seller would not be alarmed by the call. ;) I had also sent him some e-mails 2 which he did not respond.

In retrospect I do believe you are right. I was just a little anxious because it was a mobile phone and his rating was low. Anyway I have spoke 2 him now and everything is fine and dandy. :)
