My seller got back to me yesterday morning and said she didn't know what was going on and would contact ebay. Since I had already contacted them I knew the problem was that she did not have her paypal account linked to her ebay account to accept payments. On the listing it says "paypal/credit cards by paypal" for the payment method.I would think so too, but that is what eBay customer service told me. Of course we know the accuracy of that may vary. She had one feedback.
She is a new seller, so I get the feeling she doesn't know what she is doing and isn't very motivated to follow through. I replied to her yesterday explaining what she had to do so that I could pay, then sent her another message this morning that was never answered.
The relevant question now is how long I have to wait before this order can be cancelled if she never gets her account set up so that I can pay. Would it be on the date listed as the delivery date on ebay? (even though I can't pay for it). That is June 15th.
I purchased the item because I needed it for an event, but I don't want to order another option until I know whether this one will end up being cancelled or not.
