On Jul-22-00 the auction ends. Seller is supposed to contact me in 3 days.
On Jul-29-00 I decide to contact him, which should not be my job. No response..
Today I get a NPB email.
I emailed him telling him he never gave me his address or replied to my email I sent him, he replies:
come on take responsibility for your actions or in this case your non
actions. Grow up.Keep your money and you will be getting a final auction
value refund notice. That's strike one...later.
I looked at his feedbacks, and the last 3 within a few days are negatives saying "money was sent, no product". Even if he gives me his info, I'm afraid to send the payment looking at the last 3 feedbacks. If I don't send the payment, we will most likely exchange negatives and I get my first NPB warning, this is something I don't want happening. I don't know what to do. Is this something to email ebay about? What if I had gone out and bought this same product assuming he was not going to sell it anymore because it had been so long? Is it my fault that he didn't reply to me all this time and now he jsut expects me to happily send him the payment?
I need suggestions. Thanks.

Shivers ---all up and down my body!! Why do sellers treat their buyers this way? agentorange--send this whole mess to safe harbor--or to [email protected]. This is a nightmare that no buyer should go through. Good Luck!

If you get a NPB notice from ebay, you can appeal it, showing them the email this guy just sent you, telling you to keep your money.
Or...
You can send payment and if he still files NPB on you, you can show proof of payment (cancelled check or copy of money order).
The guy sounds like a jerk to me! I'm a seller and hate hearing about people like that - makes us all look bad.

Damn, it's obvious the seller is the one in need of growing up from your version of this transaction.
I can't understand the ease some that some employ such rude behavior via email. The security of anonymity really brings out the worst in frustrated or insecure people. I'd be reluctant to proceed with the transaction unless I had some device that insured my satisfaction, such as credit card payment. I wouldn't advise to send a check, money order, or cash, based upon the prelude to this transaction.
I agree with the previous posts, forward his email to SafeHarbor and let them see the seller's manners. Hopefully they'll understand your reluctance to proceed with the transaction.
