Update...after over 2 weeks of corresponding with ebay, I get this in response.
Dear Erik,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to your seller who failed to
complete the transaction.
We wanted to let you know that we've thoroughly investigated the matter
and have taken appropriate action -- depending on all the circumstances,
this could range from a warning to terminating the seller's membership.
Due to concerns about privacy, we can't discuss one member's account
with another member, so I'm not able share the results of our
investigation with you. I hope this assures you that your account
history will also remain private.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Serina
eBay Customer Support
So as far as I can tell the seller's account is still active on ebay, and there doesn't seem to be much else I can do short of taking legal action.
Please watch for this one to be offered for sale elsewhere...the seller seems like a real piece of work.
