What am I going to do now!
I haven't bought on eBay for a long time but yesterday I saw two cute items that I had been wanting for a long time. Placed a winning bid on both of them around noon.
Still no WB message or reply to my emails from either seller.
Okay, I know it's Christmas, BUT....I wanted to get payment in the mail today, as I am going to be away from tomorrow until after Christmas.
With no response from either seller I now have no way of getting payment in the mail until after I return next week.
Guess I just shouldn't have bid, but most sellers don't take this long to get in touch. And I guess the sellers will just have to make do with my email explaining why I'm not answering theirs for at least another week.

Just make sure you email them with your out of town plans,so they know the reason they won't be getting payment until after Christmas.
That should work and at least you communicated.

I sell a lot more than I buy, but I'm finding this to become more and more common. Me? I send out my EOA email within minutes of finishing my EOA happy dance (usually).

Because of the unusual circumstances, could you perhaps pull their Info from Ebay, and call them?

This seems to be more common the last year on eBay. I know when I sell something, I send out a "You won! Here is how to pay, any questions please email me, and thank for bidding!" email. I buy much more than I sell on eBay, and it gets a bit tiresome waiting for the seller to email me.
