I found something I wanted to buy on eBay Australia website. The seller had not specified how much it would cost to ship the item to the US but the shipping details page said to message the seller to obtain a shipping quote, presumably he did not exclude shipping to the US on the listing. I made an offer on the item and included a message that said "hey mate please let me know how much postage to the US would be, cheers!" something like that and I provided my postal code. My best offer was accepted and he messaged me saying he would see about shipping costs. It's a been a few days now and I haven't heard back from him (I have messaged him at least twice) eBay is reminding me to pay for the item but when I attempt to do so it says contact the seller for shipping costs. The seller is not responding, is the seller in this case obligated to follow through with the sale since my best offer was accepted? I will pay whatever the cost it is to ship to the US so it is not coming out of their pocket so I don't understand what the problem is and I cant stand it when people aren't communicative.
