If you have the necessary info to make payment (paypal email address or snailmail address for MO) then PAY. The best way to get the attention of a seller whose item you've won is to PAY HIM, not email him asking BS questions unless you don't have all the necessary information.

I think it's time for you to send payment. Sure, it isn't good that the person isn't the best communicator, but maybe he feels that he doesn't need to communicate with you - rather just wait on the payment.

Personally I never send payment without making contact with the seller first. I did that once and was screwed out of my money. Seller vanished from ebay never to return :| (And yes, their feedback was all good and for similar items) I've never sent money to any merchant again unless I have contact from them.

With all the known thiefs and morons on ebay out there, why on earth would some of you advocate sending money to someone who may or may not be even there?

In other words, Ebay sellers who respond to your emails will NOT steal your money and send nothing. Whew, that's a relief!

WTF!! You people are retarded. I'm Canadian, and I need an updated total including modified shipping price to compensate for shipping to Canada. He has not replied.

I want this item. I'd gladly buy it off him. He won't give me the total price including shipping. So...
