Hi hopefully someone may have some idea where we stand with this. my dp used a website called fat fingers as it brings up items that have been spelt wrong on ebay so therefore dont come up on ebay searches. He found a car that he loves ending in a couple of hours with no bids on it. we watched it and put a bid in for the starting price near the end. no surprise we won it. It was a very good price at only £500.

Straight away he emailed asking if we could collect it tomorrow as we live 2.5 hours away. cash on collection of course.

We havnt heard anything back from them. Now we wouldnt normally be worried as it was only 24 hours ago, but if your seling a car and close to the bank holiday weekend i would have thought you would have been checking it as soon as you can.

Basically my dp and friends who are aware think that seller is gutted that this car went soo cheap and is just going to ignore all requests for contact etc.

If they had emailed us straight away, saying this was how they felt etc we would have been sympathetic, asking what they were hoping for, going to see it etc. Now we have NO IDEA that something has happened, or maybe generally havnt checked their account since but how long should we leave it and what are our options to do?

got to go bath and bed little one but will check back later.

You can request their details - phone number and adress from ebay, then ring them.

Or just turn up at the house saying we were passing and thought we would take a look at the car.

At the end of the day, they could have put a reserve price in if they didn't want it to be sold that low.'Give them a few days, they may have gone away for the weekend and just timed the auction badly, but then I would contact ebay and complain.

I would request contact details through ebay as someone else suggested and give them a few days it is possible they are away or use the computer at work only and dont have a computer at home. I have had to wait 3-4 days before now for contact very frustrating.
I hope they make contact soon and your dh gets his car
