No longer a registered user??

awong10 · Jul 5th, 2008, 04:33 AM

I purchased an item from a seller on June 24th. I also got an e-mail saying that the seller created a shipping label on July 2nd. I checked the tracking number and the package hasn't entered the system yet.. but that may be because of the holiday weekend.. Then I went to My eBay to check the auction and it says the seller is no longer registered!! He had plenty of positive feedback..

I don't understand.. does this smell like a scam?? Any advice? TIA!!

You can still contact the seller. It may or may not be a scam. eBay unregisters people without warning. I know I am an honest seller and ebay unfairly suddenly unregistered me. If he doesn't reply, you can wait for the package and if that doesn't work, file a paypal claim.

Yup most often the cause is the seller overlooked the deadline to pay his selling fees. Some sellers register with their spam email account and don't check it at all so won't know when a final reminder comes.

Try not to worry to much, it might be a mistake by eBay, If the package dosn't arrive file a claim with paypal and hopefully they will help you out :)

Good luck and keep us updated! x

Contact the seller for sure. If she responds, probably everything is fine. If you don't get any response, file a claim.
