I had an auctipon end yesterday to which I've sent off two seperate EOA's. One through my server and then one through ebays 'mail auction to a friend'. Both came back immediately as:

(ids etc. blocked out) I don't know how long I should wait before pulling the contact info - The bidder has a 4 feedback rating and the last transaction this person completed was back in June so I doubt contacting the last seller would help.

Aaargh this happened to me, but on another site. My emails were being returned undeliverable. She was able to send to me, but I couldn't send to her. Finally, after two weeks, we were able to communicate. I couldn't pull her telephone info because you can't on this particular site. She said her computer said my emails had a virus, but I really think she had her junk mail filter set too high. However, we were able to complete the transaction. Thank goodness because my hallway cannot stand one more box with the words deadbeat across the label.

Also, wait a day & try the email again. Sometimes ISPs "burp" and mail doesn't get through that day but it's back fine the next.
