    If you know the the bidders username then search for them and click on their feedback score this will take you to a page showing all their feedbacks. At the top of this page in the right hand corner there is a box with different options, one of these options is to contact the ebayer, just click on it and you can send them a message.

    Hope this helps :)

    Why would you want to contact them?

    have you tried contacting the seller to see if she/he has any more available?
  • Maybe have another look on eBay and see if they are more? So annoying when something like this happens...stupid other bidders!

    Hmmm, you were obviously messing around with your bidding. Learn the lesson bid high and late and don't try to be cute because this will happen again.
