I had a situation similar to RoryRory except that I was the buyer. I bought a wardrobe for DS's room on ebay and kept emailing the seller with no response. I even wrote in the final email that if there was no contact in the next couple of days I would leave negative feedback. Then I found somewhere on ebay that you could actually get the sellers contact details which included a contact telephone number. My DH rang them for me and the sellers husband answered the phone. Turned out that the womans brother had just died in a car accident. I felt terrible that I had been mean in the email. We told them not to worry about it, and worked out how to cancel the auction with them.

Like Rory mentioned i do take into consideration something may have sadly happened to the Seller/Buyer ... for example last year i didn't receive a top i purchased off OZtion for my DD, then about 2mths later i got an email from the Seller madly apologising that she & her DD had been placed in a refuge and therefore she wasn't able to make contact let alone post the goods ... i think from some emails you can tell who is genuine or not, ... it's the Sellers who make threats that make my blood boil
