Thanks Dave. There is a time delay of course; it is late evening here; so it would have been on Saturday that the auction took place your time. Thanks Puppy Raiser, I wrote to the other bidder to see if he is in contact with the seller. I know I sound impatient, but is a week now since I first started trying to contact the seller. I wrote to eBay help too to notify them of a problem. Thanks everyone for your help. I'll let you know how it pans out.
