oes anybody know who this seller is in the UK?

" projectorfilm-aholic "

I won an item from this person, but they haven't send me a invoice, and ebay won't let me pay for the actual item if there is no shipping on it. He has a 100 per cent rating with more sales or sells than I have, so I'm betting that this person is reliable, but It does make me slightly nervous, not being able to get ahold of the person.

If any of you know who this person is personally, could you get ahold of them for me, as I have been trying to pay for this item for three days, but i have had no word from them.

Thank you.

OSI

I see his web-site says "Posts to United Kingdom". There is no reference to any other country.
The site says he is in Bromley in the outer edges of London which before the city expanded some fifty years ago was situated in the county of Kent.

Osi - I purchased 4x 600' of film from this seller about 15 months ago without any hassle and, yes, I do realise I am also in the UK! Unfortunately, I have no contact details only to say that, from my experience, he appears to be generally reliable as opposed to not. Silly question,but I assume you have sent him an email about it via the Ebay system? If he has signed up to Ebay's overseas postal facility, where we,in the UK, send the item to Ebay's central overseas postal office in Derbyshire and from there it is sent overseas.... he may have trouble trying to raise an invoice if your bid has slipped under the net. This system allows UK sellers to avoid dealing with overseas customers directly re addresses and additional postal charges etc and lets Ebay handle it instead.

Be extra patient. My gut feeling is that he has some sort of problem as opposed to being Mr.Bad Guy.

Good luck.

Hey Melvin (and others) thanks for the info ...

Yes, I've sent three requests over the last four days and had no reply for him. I wonder if I'm his first non UK buyer?

In one of my messages to him (yep, thru ebay) I even optioned for him to put 9 pounds for shipping on it (in case he was wondering how much it should be ... it's a 1X600ft reel ... I think that 9 pounds will probably over the shipping), but have nothing back.

I think I'll contact ebay when i get home today.
