I've purchased many items on eBay over 10 years and never had such an experience! I purchased an item 12/28/2020. I checked the status yesterday 1/6/2021 because the item was never received. I then learned the item was never shipped and also the seller was no longer a registered on eBay. I tried to follow any sort of channel via eBay to report the issue, however I can find no way to contact eBay. All I can see are articles from eBay advising me to contact the seller first, however this is not possible when the seller is no longer registered on eBay! Apparently no one at eBay thought about this possibility? It seems rather odd there is no way for me, the buyer, to have any way to find out from anyone at eBay how this can happen. I checked with Paypal and learned the traction had been completed and processed back on 12/28/2020 and I was charged when nothing was ever shipped or delivered. Now I have to take further steps to see what can be done because I paid for the purchase. I see no way to get any assistance from eBay. They allowed a seller to initiate orders and then un-register their account without completing the transaction and then not stand behind the transaction at all.
