Item I've won has disappeared from My eBay, please help

Hello,

I purchased an item last week, which has now arrived. It is missing the power cable so I need to contact the seller.

Logged into My eBay, but the item is not listed under the items I have won. However on my summary page, it says I need to leave feedback for 1 item, so I clicked the link but it says there are no items to leave feedback for. Very odd.

So I spent ages trying to find out how to contact eBay. Finally found the contact form. But filled it in and hit submit, and it says 'Topic 2 requires a value. Use the browser Back button to return to the previous page to correct these problems'.

I've gone back, but there are only 4 fields to fill in, and they are all filled in. I've tried several times, both in IE and Firefox, but I still get this error.

I'm now stuck - how else can I contact eBay regarding the item disappearing from my account so that I can finally ask the seller to send the power cable?? :o

Thanks.

    Are they selling anything at the moment you could contact them that way or you should have a confirmation of the sale sent to your email address.

    Well I've since managed to locate the item and the seller - by logging into Paypal and clicking on the item link. So I have now contacted seller regarding the missing power cable.

    However, the item is still missing from My eBay, and I still cannot get the eBay 'contact us' form to work. How else can I contact eBay as I am stumped :mad:

    Hello boots babe,
    Don't know if this will help you but will paste it just in case it will.

    We want your eBay experience to be great, and that means making sure that you get the help you need, when you need it.

    To find the answers to your questions quickly, click the “Help” link at the top of any eBay page. You'll come to the Help Centre, where you can search or browse the Help topics to find the information you need. You can bookmark, print and save the information you find.

    If you still need help, click the “Contact Us” link on the left-hand side of any Help page. This will take you to a form where you can send an email to eBay’s Customer Support. Note: Depending on the nature of your question, it can take between 24 to 72 hours to receive an email response from Customer Support.

    In some cases, the Live Help button appears on prominent eBay pages, such as the Seller Registration pages. You can click the Live Help button to connect to a private chat room, where you can ask an eBay representative your question.

    Note: If you use a pop-up blocker, you may need to allow pop-ups for the eBay site to ensure complete display of information and interactive eBay functionality including eBay’s Live Help.

    Hope this is of some help Nicky
    Thanks for any help and advice given

    Thanks Nicky for taking the trouble to find that for me. Trouble is, I have already tried using the Contact form but it keeps erroring. I have tried IE and Firefox, and different machines, but still no joy.

    So I need an alternative way to contact them ... the live chat sounds good but I cannot find any link to it anywhere :confused:
