    You can get their direct email and phone numbers through Ebay before the 7 days is up. I had to use this recently on a non-payer of a car I was selling, nice chap hung up on me too :D

    Agree with the above though, if they are still within the 7 day period before you can open a dispute then just allow the 7 days to pass before chasing them. Personally I pay immediatley after winning an item and ideally would like everyone else to do the same when I'm selling but thats never going to happen!

    If someone rang me before the 7 days were up hassling me that would be an immediate Neg as far as i'm concerned

    Helps if you know all the details though :rolleyes:

    It was a car sold as spares/repairs. I'm up in Edinburgh, the winner was situated in south Wales. He also did not respond to my initial contact via ebay messaging to arrange collection and had 1 feedback. I was paranoid and rightfully so, turned out to be a complete waste of my time but I'm sure he got some kind of kicks out of it.
