EBAY - suggestions, please...

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

Hey mates,
could you give me advice?
I won an eBay auction this Monday.
Before bidding I had asked did the seller accept payment as cash (because PayPal doesn't work here). He answered "UK pounds OK".
After the end of the auction I got his message:

Message from XXXX

For more information on my postage, insurance and other policies, or if you would like to pay for this item with a method other than PayPal, please see the item listing for details.

Thank you,

XXXX XXXX (his name)


I checked the details again and noticed there were 2 ways of payment: PayPal (which - as I had warned him - doesn't work here) and Western Union Auction Payments which I tried to use. But I still couldn't complete it without the seller's address. Which I don't know because he hadn't answered to any of my e-mails (I have sent at least 2 e-mails every day since the end of the auction - via eBay and directly).
It's very hard to meet his demand:
ALL AUCTIONS MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS WITHIN UK OR 10 DAYS REST OF WORLD! :urff:
What do you suggest me to do, good friends :?:
(Until today my I've got 100 % positive feedback myself...)
