Won a pushchair on ebay on saturday. Had no contact from the seller. What should I do?

I won a Icandy cherry on saturday. I emailed the seller straight away to ask her if she will meet halfway (as her auction stated she will do) and have had no contact from her at all. I did get it at a really good price, which makes me think she will say that I didn't pay and will give me a strike so she can resell it at a higher price. I haven't paid yet as I want to give cash on collection. She was buying clothes last night so why no replys?

I would wait a little while, say till this evening. She may be planning times and place to meet, etc. If you're still feeling anxious though you can request her contact details and see if there is a phone number to call her on. Also check her feedback (which I'm sure you've done)which might give an indication of how trustworthy she is.

her feedback is very good, higher than mine in numbers, but mainly as a buyer not a seller

She can't give you a non-paying bidder strike without going through a dispute process first and you would have the chance to respond so I wouldnt worry about that. It is irritating when people dont respond right away but does not always mean the worst.
Can you copy and paste the auction text and post it? (if not too much text).

Seller is probably away for Easter.

she cannot give nonpayer strike unless initiating a dispute via ebay. hope this works out for you

Just because she won an auction last night doesn't mean that she was online. Plenty of people use other sites which posts the bid at the last minute for you. I would leave it another day or two.

Did you email her directly or send the message through ebay?

I often dont get emails if they haven't been sent through ebay's message system as my email account is crap with a tiny inbox.
