oops, paid now seller not registered

Today: purchased a dvd from usa seller, just got home and paid via ebay invoice, just looked back at the item to see that now they are not a registered user! what?! invoice was sent to me by ebay at 16.30pm so weird? and seller also contacted me at 16.30pm, should i email mow and ask whats going on or should i get onto paypal about trying to get my money back before it goes too far right away?? surely if they'd been suspended i wouldnt have been able to pay, go through checkout etc? confused..how long does the money take to get into their paypal accoutn, instant? but am i right in thinking it takes 5 days to move the money, so if somethins up, and i act fast, i could get my money back?

    hmmm thought so..not sure what to do really, exchanged several pleasant emails with seller past few days, good feedback, just wondering if i should mail the seller and ask whats going on, or wait and see what ebay say in their (usually rubbish) reply, ie so seller doesntget wind of me being a bit suspicious....

    i think u should try contacting him - giv him the benefit of the doubt

    could be something out of his control...

    (am quite a trusting person)
  • yeh contact him first, ebay are suddenly banning people for selling completely legal things such as sim cards because of this pathetic vero programme where theres no defence
