No email address for dump and run sellers

A long this line can someone advise please:

bought a book on 21st Nov. Emailed seller to send an invoice so that I knew he is still selling (his last sold item was in Aug). Heard nothing from him, so presumed he wasnt selling even though listed. On 26 December he cancelled purchase with a 'non-payment'. Does this non-payment go against me? Cheers. Willo.

I can't see how it could go against you as you requested an invoice & he didn't send you one? If this is so then I would get in touch with Support & explain to them what has happened.

No it doesn't go against you - they just cancelled the sale and just put in the comments 'non payment'. That is different from from going through the NPB (non paying buyer) procedure - if they had done that then you would have either got invoices or payment reminders before they would have been able to mark you as a NPB.

Thought an email was included in eBid's invoice for seller and buyer, for every sale. Even if included though, can not make someone respond.

They are, but there is no guarantee that the e-mail is monitored by the seller.

Thanks for letting me know - I sent a note to Support - no doubt they will say not to worry about it. Definitely received no invoice from the seller or payment requests. Did get the normal invoice but this is generated and not from the seller. Cheers Willo.

Got a reply from Support:

Thank you for your email.

The NPB will not show on your account.

It is not completely accurate is it? You are not a non paying buyer, you are a buyer waiting for a response to the seller
