seller is no longer a registered user - does this mean they got thrown out by ebay?

[paddingtonbear1]

Back in Nov last year I bought 2 concert tickets for myself and a mate. The seller feedback was good, all appeared fine as far as I could tell. I haven't got the tickets yet but as I haven't had any from Ticketmaster for another concert the same week, I wasn't too worried. Now though I realise that the seller is no longer registered on ebay. Last feedback was beginning of Feb. They had a fair bit of feedback, none negative, so what's going on? Doesn't it take a while to deregister yourself? Could ebay have kicked them off?
Am a bit worried now!

It also shows as 'no longer a registered user' if they haven't paid this months fees within a set timeframe (no idea what that is though!)

So it could be just that, especially as they had feedback up until the beginning of February.

I'd hang on a few days first before raising any disputes.

ah thanks Tequila, I didn't realise that. So I guess if they paid their fees, ebay would reinstate?
I may still have an email address for them, so if it's still the same in a week I could try that. They did sell other concert tickets with no apparent problems (good feedback)

Yes as soon as they pay ebay will reinstate.

I only know this as it happened to me during a bad patch last year

I would email them if it's still showing the same in a week

I did find their email so I've just sent a quick message, I've been polite and friendly as there could be a genuine reason as you say.
They never got any neg feedback in 7 months, so fingers crossed!
