    Have you tried googling the telephone number you have, sometimes if it's hidden on the net somewhere it will bring up an address - hope you get it sorted out.

    Tried it already - no luck. Thanks! :)

    Is'nt there no way to get his address from ebay..
    I am sure they should be able share the address as they have a record on their file.
    I am going through the same trauma as Ashok as I ve been scammed of £430 with asda vouchers :-((((

    I would make that complaint first with PayPal " NOT RECEIVED THE GOODS" just do it - it will block his account and no one else will be ripped off( if their's any money in it - he won't be able to withdraw it out! PayPay should claim a charge back - ( don't bother phoning them - pretty useless!!) if not phone your credit card company and say you bought goods ( Not email vouchers! ) and you've never received them - you will get a claim form from them and the money taken will be in dispute - what's the User name of this Ebayer?? Always check someones feedback before bidding!!
    Do you want to phone me and I'll guide you through how to get his address - When did all this happen as auctions disappear after a month on Ebay?Send a copy ( not link or add to favorites )as this will expire - to your drafts folder You will need to print off the auction - print off proof of payment - if all else fails you will need all the info to submit a claim with the police as it's clear he has defrauaded you.
    *personal info removed by BG* I can be contacted on this number until tomorrow - new sim card arriving!!
    Thanks

    Jermima it's not a good idea to post your phone number on a public forum. But good of you anyway.

    PM is fine - I do turn the phone off after 10 pm-Sorry but my typing is really slow - I'm still typing with one finger! - Have you checked the emails sent when you won this auction - it will have all or part of his address on the won auction sent from Ebay.
