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
