Waiting on a seller that doesnt communicate or send shipping info

[kadius_suidak]

so I'm a new eBay user and I kind of rushed into the whole thing. I bought a 50 dollar item, the seller almost instantly responded with what I think was a forwarded chain email in broken English. This was a week ago. I've tried contacting them since on 4 separate occasions and every message was ignored. I reviewed the're history as a seller and it was very minimal 3 positive reviews, but every review was from a person that was no longer a registered user. So basically how long should I wait before leaving negative feedback and filing a case? has anything like this happened to anyone else?

I don't see anything in your list of recent purchases.  Is the item even still on eBay?  The listing shouldn't disappear from the eBay archives if you only purchased it a few days ago.

Is the seller still registered on eBay?  Is there a "not a registered user" message on his feedback page?

the seller is still registed and selling items

. thats weird the purchase isnt coming up. on my ebay its listed as a won item that has been payed for. but yes the item was deleted by ebay.

Check your PayPal account.  You should have the eBay listing number there.

It is premature to think about leaving feedback.

File a claim for non-receipt through PayPal if payment was made more than four days ago.
