I've just managed to win an auction for a brand new Omega DSOTM on ebay for what I think looks like a bargain, equates to around 44% off list.
The seller is only 30 miles from me so i have messaged them with my phone number to arrange payment and collection, no response.
What happens if i don't hear from the seller (i presume i won't). I know as a seller you are obliged to complete a deal, but no one can force the seller to complete
Happened to me several times.
If you launch an investigation with eBay the seller will simply state the item has been damaged etc.
If it’s relisted eBay don’t care much either.
Best just moving on with life.

If you messaged him with your phone number ebay may ban you anyway. He might know this & has therefore not replied to your message so he dosen't get banned.
I’ve had it too. I have never backed out of a sale on eBay and 99% of the time I no reserve my stuff, if someone gets a bargain I actually congratulate them!
But if I ever manage to get a bargain the item always miraculously manages to get lost or broken. Had one the other day which was sold as spares or repair and the seller messaged me to say they went to package it up and it was broken! I replied saying it was advertised as broken and it didn’t matter so please still send it as I was bidding on it for the spares... nothing!
Did the auction state that collection in person was okay?
