I don't know if I can use this message board for my query, but I am desperate, I want to know how to email Ebay without quoting an item number, I have paid for an item, and the seller has taken the money, but but has not acknowledged it, or sent my order, and all my transactions have disappeared from the Ebay website, so I have no seller email address to contact. Thanks for any help.

willy33 Go to the E-Bay Site and look for the Safety Center - on the UK Site it is on the Right in a Blue Panel - there you can report your problem Lesley

Hey willy33. Having had a similar situation with E-bay once before I found that by filling a free theft report with squaretrade through E-bay I was able to get this situation resolved. Here's the link to get help http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/questions/protection-program.html. Good luck and I hope this is somewhat helpful!

Just a few words of wisdom for those that will check this post just to see what it is. 1. Auction Fraud The setup: Online auction fraud accounts for three-quarters of all complaints registered with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (formerly the Internet Fraud Complaint Center). There are many types of eBay chicanery, but the most common one is where you send in your money and get nothing but grief in return. What actually happens: You never get the product promised, or the promises don't match the product. The descriptions may be vague, incomplete, or completely fake. One scammer accepted bids for Louis Vuitton bags that she didn't own, and then scoured the Internet looking for cheap knockoffs that cost less than the winning bid. She managed to collect at least $18,000 from bidders before she got nailed. A buyer thought he'd purchased a portable DVD player for $100, but what he got instead was a Web address for a site where he could buy a player for a $200 discount. The stories are virtually endless. The risk: You get ripped off, losing time and money. If you spill the beans about the scam, the seller may retaliate by posting negative eBay reports about you using phony names. The question you've gotta ask yourself: Who in their right mind would sell a $200 bag for $20? God made men and then rested, God made women and none of us has rested since..

You said this, all my transactions have disappeared from the Ebay website They keep a website for a long time for that transaction. You must have been waiting for a lenghty time for it. Do you get a confirmation by email? God made men and then rested, God made women and none of us has rested since..
