Ordered a VNA, seller no longer listed


 

Last week I ordered a NanoVNA on ebay from a seller in Hong Kong. Ebay later sent me a message stating that they had dropped the seller (idesheng999) and saying "This user is no longer registered on eBay".
Hopefully it will arrive; if not, ebay will refund my payment, but it certainly will delay my getting a hold of the VNA. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this seller or this situation?

I wouldn't worry too much about the message "This user is no longer registered on eBay". Often the cause of the message is the seller hasn't paid the fees that are due so ebay suspends the account. Most sellers pay the fees and get the account reinstated; once in a while one fades away, never to be heard from again. Usually the latter happens when sellers having little or no feedback. With an item of this expense the seller most likely will send it with some sort of tracking number attached. If you have a tracking number, go to Postal Ninja https://postal.ninja/en and see if the package is enroute. If you don't have a tracking number or the package isn't enroute, submit a refund request and ebay should process it fairly quickly.
