Ebay Troubles.....

[Half Japanese]

Alright last night I waited out until the last minute (unless you bid a high proxy this is a must) to bid on a new camo blue NGPC, and I won it for $9.99 plus shipping. I emailed the seller immediately after the auction to get his address (I still have to use money orders :(). Anyway I waited and checked back in a few hours. Nothing. I went on this afternoon to check for his email. Still nothing. At this point I'm getting the feeling this guy is gonna screw me and become a "non-selling seller." What I was wondering is, how long does he have to respond? I emailed through Ebay and through Hotmail so I can verify that I made contact if need be. BTW, I DID go over the eBay help section and found nothing relevant. Can anyone give advice?

Yes I know he hadn't sold anything else before, but his seller feedback seemed good enough to trust. Maybe I'm a sucker.

MODS, if this should be in the ebay insanity forum, feel free to kick it on over there.

Maybe he's just a bit busy? Sometimes I need to wait a day or two before I can send emails out, cause I'm busy and in hopes that people pay with paypal and I don't have to email them. Then it cuts down on the "formal" emails, and I can just reply with a generic "thanks for your payment, item shipped today" mass mailer.

Typically buyers and sellers have three (3) days to make contact.

Now that I just looked at it, he's registered in APO/FPO (military) so be patient. He's probably definately busy.

Thanks Achika, kind of sets my mind at ease :D. I wasn't sure what his location meant, thanks for clearing that up. Okay, I'll be a bit more patient now, but as you can see from my feedback, I'm not new to eBay, but I don't really buy stuff there a whole lot, and everyone I've dealt with so far has been lightning fast at emailing me. Anyhow, thanks for the help!
