i’ll try and keep this as painless as possible, so here it goes. i bought something on eBay a few days ago, from a seller with generally good feedabck. In the auction, he said the buyer must contact him within 3 days of the auction end or the sale would be void. no problem, i contaced him as soon as i won the item. It’s been almost a week since the auction ended, and I have since tried to contact him twice more though eBay and 3 times though e-mail. I have not sent the money for the item yet (im still living in the stone age and dont have paypal) and i’m kind of nervous about sending the money (it is a fairly large ammount of money) with this lack of communication on his part. I don’t want him to give me negative feedback and say i never paid for what i bought. Im not really sure what to do here, so any suggestions would be helpful. ---

Dont paypal, dont send a money order, dont send money period. First you need to contact the guy and then you need to verify his intentions and credability. If anything looks shady, walk away. ---

I think you need to stay off ebay and the internet in general. I have never seen anyone so incapable of doing anything without getting everyone’s opinion. This is common sense which you seem to lack in all facets of your life. Give us a break…mmm k ? ---
