seller will not issue invoice or make any form of contact

[ferrobilt]

I won an auction for 3 books, seller listed as pick up but wrote in the listing he would get the winning bidders address and quote postage after end of auction.

I have emailed (via Ebay messaging) 3 times requesting an invoice.

Ebay have issued an email saying pay up or receive an unpaid item strike.

No reply whatsoever from seller, often a seller cannot issue an invoice and I said in one of my messages that there was no rush to receive invoice but I did expect some form of contact as has happened many times before.

What should I do, just wait, pepper the seller with emails, request sellers details, pay the sale price and email seller saying he can tell me the postage cost later and I can pay that seperate.

I would like to pay for my books

any suggestions gratefully received

If it's the 48 hour reminder eBay send out just ignore it and wait for seller to come back to you.

It's a computer generated reminder.

Also some eBayers only jump on their computer 1-2 times a week.

Seller could be on holidays and PO's not open until Tuesday.

If the seller has opened an unpaid case then I would pay and pay postage later.

That's easy to do via PayPal.
