Has anyone used this spain-only-ebay-clone successfully??

Im trying to buy a pen from todocoleccion.net and basically i add it to my basket and click buy, and, well, nothing. It doesnt ask for my card details, it just says "sold". I see the item in my "stuff bought" list.
So i looked up the vendor because maybe they have payment details in their profile, but no.
Anyone here have aby idea how this thing works? Atm it looks like the vendor has to contact me to ask for payment ... and he hasnt even answered my messages.

Congrats, you bought a pen! ....is basically how I would interpret this transaction. I mean, it's based in Spain, right? Who knows what will happen and what will arrive in your mailbox, but this is merely part of the journey.

nah it's that i have "bought" it the 27th, and have not in any way paid for it. There doesnt seem to be a way to do so. You see something you like and click BUY and that's it.
Either it's a sophisticated way to data mine addresses not-linked-to-credicards or they give away stuff for free. Which they dont.

As i ... sort of? understand it, a seller displays his stuff kinda like ebay does, and once you "buy" the item, the actual sale takes place outside the site, be it via bank transfer, cash in hand, or whatever. There is no Paypal, no PCI DSS, no actual way *on the website* of paying for goods.

Now, i would be cool with this if not that 1) the seller hasnt made any effort to contact me nor replied to my messages, and 2) i reeaaly want that thing im buying.

well, should anyone find themselves - for whatever reason - needing to use this website, i finally figured it out. Because the seller slooowly messaged me back.
There's a thingy you click and you get the email of the seller, and then you Paypal them the $$$. Because YOU have to divine that from god knows what, there's zero instructions on the website.
