Hopefully someone can advise me here. My girlfriend has recently bought an item on eBay. Once the item had *ended* and she had sent a postal order, the seller suddenly became an unregistered user. He's not answering emails and neither are eBay. So she's been left out of pocket - where do we stand? Surely eBay just cannot allow a seller to become unregistered when there are outstanding transactions?

And in another item... she bid and paid immediatley with Paypal (she had to as it was 'immediate payment required'). Next day she gets an email from eBay saying the listing had been removed and not to bid or send payment - ONCE THE ITEM HAD ENDED! WTF?? How can eBay do this? There was no reason that she can see for it being removed. Again, where do we stand?

Sorry for the rant but 2 transactions in a week are now f****d due to eBay messing up. eBay... by all means cancel bids or end auctions early if you need to but use some f*****g common sense.
