I bought my girlfriend's christmas gift a few days ago, used Buy It Now, payed through Paypal immediately. I got on here today to see if the seller had marked it as shipped, and it says "This user is no longer registered on ebay." According to his page, he's had almost 1000 positive feedback this month alone, almost 8000 positive in the past year, and he's been a member since 2008. There's nothing to make me think he was a bad seller. I don't know what I'm supposed to do at this point. Do I need to open a ticket and try to get my money back immediately, or should I wait a bit and see if he completes the transaction and/or gets his account reinstated? If and when I do need to file a claim, should I do it through Ebay or Paypal? I live paycheck to paycheck, and if I'm just out the money, it means I don't get to give my girlfriend a christmas present this year.
