Well with the flooding and storm damage we've had in Qld, I've been without power, phone and internet for several days. Finally got power last night. Strangely I've got internet but no landline yet??
Also, from what I've heard, eBay has had some issues with logging in etc over the last three days now. Maybe the waning messaging system was a precursor to these problems?....
Got hold of the Brisbane stationary cabinet seller, all good.
As for eBay "policy", once an item closes/ends, eBay has no jurisdiction. Of course they won't facilitate a transaction either as to be expected. But they can't control what people do or don't do outside of an items listing period. So there is no harm in making an approach.
FWIW, the seller has re-listed it in combination with other parts. A decent deal if you need it all, unfortunately I don't need the other parts and at $1k each it becomes too pricey for me.
I still haven't heard from the HK seller. If he won't combine that's fine. But I'm now very reluctant to send money to anyone who doesn't at least attempt to communicate.
