Usually people are pretty quick to respond. Sometimes not. I've waited 4 or 5 days before someone who bought my item said anything... sometimes people are busy or are away from computers for extended periods of time, who knows. Nothing to worry about yet as it's only been a couple of days i'm assuming.

One problem, of course, is that you don't know whether the seller is ignoring you, or whether he is completely unaware of the messages you've sent - unless you're actually having the messages returned as "undeliverable". Some sellers (and some buyers) aren't very competent at managing their electronic communications.

There should be a "contact seller" link available if you look up the transaction on eBay. Depending on how the seller has things set up, that may be associated with a different e-mail address than the one he's using for PayPal. A message sent this way will also show up in the seller's "Messages" in the eBay system.

It's also possible to request contact information through eBay for someone with whom you are involved in a transaction. Sometimes a phone call is the answer.

Thanks.

I used the email for the seller listed on ebay and it came back as a bad email address though so that concerns me.

Bad emails and phone numbers in the contact information is not uncommon.

Do a google on his name and address.
