i need advice from anyone who's used ebay before

i won the digital camera i wanted (yay) but the problem is the seller's email address no longer exists! the seller wanted payment by paypal but that would still require an email address...

what do i do? i really do want the camera, but i cant find a way to contact the stupid guy

don't pay him yet..

how long ago did you win it?? I am sure he wants his money and will probably email you when he gets time...

i cant pay til i get his new email, and i won it yesterday..
its a pretty nice deal

The seller has to email you after the auction. Did he email you and then his email account went bye bye? Or did you try and email him and your email didn't go through?

he didnt email me, so i emailed the guy to ask about shipping charges and the email came back to me saying that the account doesn't exist

Yeah definetly don't send the payment until he contacts you. Also I think they give the seller like 3 days I think to email you.
