I've been trying to contact a seller for over a week with no luck. I've sent 2 emails asking how much I should add for postage so I can get this paid. This is a first for me - what do you do?

Get used to it. Many of the terrible buyers are becoming terrible sellers. AND feebay is offering new sellers three free listings. Not FVF, of course. Geez, thanks - NOT- Meg.

LoL Parklane! I can see buyers not following through, but now sellers? Your economy must be doing better than I thought.

I suppose you could send just the high bid amount through PayPal. That should get his/her attention.

I've been having the same problem with a seller. I've sent 4 or 5 emails the last week. The seller has negs from other buyers who also couldn't contact him, or because he wouldn't sell the item.

Krafty,

Do you use either AOL or earthlink?

I have many bidders that don't put me on their buddy list as directed and all my e-mails get rejected until they do. Then they think that I am not responding when in reality I am and the problem is on the bidders end.

You could try e-mailing from a different e-mail address like Hotmail or Yahoo to see if they respond that way.

That is what "trying" will get you.

Now how's bout you get down to business, pull his phone number and call em up?

When I want to get things done, I will call. I have gone so far as to call a bidders mother. Had a nice chat with her about her grown son, and she agreed to pass along the message in a personal way.

If the phone number is bad, call up everybody in his zip code with the same last name (go to www.switchboard.com or www.whitepages.com to pull phone numbers).

If that is not worth your time, then accept things as they are and move on.

My 2¢,

-Rob
