What do I do?

I've bought a bike on eBay [cash on collection] but have been unable to login since saturday. I know I have won the item because I was sent an email. The problem is that the seller is not responding to my emails and I think it is because the email I sent is coming direct via operamail instead of eBay [straight to spam folder].
There was no contact phone number and Google and Facebook have drawn blanks.

Would it be possible for someone to get his contact details if I posted his username?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mark.

    Only someone involved in a transaction can get the details of the other party.

    Why can't you log into your ebay account? If it keeps taking you back to your log in page, try deleting your cookies, or log in using a different a browser.

    People have noted being able to log in to eBay using a different ISP or different browser, so the problem won't be with your account. Maybe go to McDonalds for Tea with you Laptop or WAP enabled phone?
    It may sometimes seem like I can't spell, I can, I just can't type
  • Didcot is far too classy for a McDonalds. My wife has mobile internet which I will try later. It was unsuccessful last night but that could be a phone issue.

    benson has one, and there must be one around abingdon?
  • If all else fails there is a McDonalds at Milton. {3 miles}
  • I also couldn't log onto ebay at the weekend but managed to resolve the problem by temporarily disconnecting broadband, turning off BT hub and leaving for 5 minutes before switching back on. Hopes this helps (and saves a trip to McDonalds!).
  • Finally back on eBay. I didn't change anything on my laptop.
