WHY can I not pay for item won

Bid and won an item for over £200 this morning .... sent off email right away to seller asking for payment address but all I have had in return is a payment reminder saying thanks for my purchase but again no details on who or where to send cheque .......... The other strange thing is I have NO emails from ebay either confirming my bid or confirming I am the winner ..... Has ANYONE any idea whats going on

I later bid on a different item & seller which again I won.... but this time got the usual you have bid and you have won emails confirming info ect

    Ebay were doing site maintenance this morning, maybe it hasn't come through just yet as a result?

    If you complete the auction process by clicking on 'Pay now' in the listing and choose the option to send a cheque /postal order, it'll give you the full postal address to send it to.

    Are you sure the seller allows payment by cheque?
  • Yes ...options offer cheque as a method of payment ... I have tried clicking the sellers info for name & address but when I do this the next page shows nothing but my own name & address ....

    Have you tried emailing him to point out that there is no address on the purchase email? I went through a ditzy stage of forgetting to send people my address 'cause I kept forgetting the payment remainder doesn't include the address.
  • Panic over ... it appears Fuzzy hit the nail on the head as I have just recieved 9 emails ALL with this mornings time next to them ....

    Many THANKS ALL !!
