"Double check to see if the seller's cancelled"

Especially now because the seller's revised the listing today and increased the Buy It Now price

Also, don't be fooled by  other selling IDs selling the same item .

Check for Amazon mentioned in their  poor feedback

Double check to see if the seller's cancelled.

If so, be thankful.

The shonky seller's dropshipping and  if this transaction goes through, there's a 99% chance that the item would be sent from Amazon  ($289 with free shipping).

Apart from other poor feedback, Amazon's mentioned several times

Sellers like this are giving  their  buyers'  details to Amazon  which is completely against the rules.

Hi there,  You state you tried to purchase the item.  Was the purchase declined, cancelled.

There does not appear to be any indication this item has sold, at least in the last 3 months.

No need to contact eBay at this stage

Other members are here pretty much all the time and you will get factual advice rather than an eBay agent typing from a pre-written script 

And pointless to email at all, since emails are bot automated and not read by humans 

Other members can't 'tell you why' with 110% certainty

BUT

Did you buy on this account or as a guest or sign in via social media?

Have you changed the time period in the drop down menu in your purchase history?

And lastly, the seller you bought from has terrible feedback for sending garbage or not sending things at all

So even once this issue right now is sorted, don't be surprised if you encounter more problems

IF this does happen to you, make sure you open and follow through with the appropriate dispute, within the time limit. And don't allow this dodgy seller to string you along or give you excuses they will just refund you or send you a replace because they won't
