I sold an item on eBay, invoiced the Buyer, and did not receive payment after seven days. I sent a message to the buyer who responded with a request to pay other than through Paypal. When I replied with alternative payments, eBay blocked my response with the reason being I was trying to transact outside of eBay. All I had in the message were alternative ways of the buyer to make payment. So, unless I can contact the buyer, the item will remain unpaid, eBay will have to refund the fees after I place an unpaid item dispute, which I prefer not to. All I want is payment and it appears that eBay's robot computer is standing in the way! Any way around this?
