What to do - eBay seller dropped off the planet.
JoyMonkey:
I won an eBay acution 14 days ago and sent the payment via PayPal right after the auction ended.
The seller hasn't responded to my emails, and the PayPal status is still "Unclaimed" - so I've been charged, but he hasn't accepted the payment yet- like its stuck in limbo.
I read through PayPals FAQs and I can't cancel the payment, I'd have to file a Buyer Complaint with them and they'll look into it.
Should I contact PayPal to try and get a refund, or should I wait longer?

i usually wait till the 3 week period before having a fit...it all usually works out...usually

Your payment has been 'unclaimed' means you may have sent the payment to an address that either doesn't have a PayPal account attached to it, or they might have a personal account that doesn't take credit cards, and you paid with one.
Just a guess. And you should be able to cancel the payment if it's in an unclaimed state.

Nope. The guy has a PayPal account and accept credit cards. Aparently because he has an account, I can't cancel the payment; I have to wait for him to accept or reject it, or wait 30 days for PayPal to return the money to me >:(

I would contact ebay first and mention that the seller is not responding.
