So I thought I bagged this beauty. I was grinning from ear to ear.

Auction ended last Monday, I paid a deposit of £180 via paypal because I couldn't collect the car for a while and didn't want to mess the seller about. He said he was going abroad for a few days and will be back on Friday 17th. But I haven't heard a peep from him since paying the deposit and the number he gave me goes straight to voicemail.    I reported to paypal but I have to wait until Tuesday to escalate it but I don't know if they can reverse the payment. 

I thought all Omega owners were honest old guys. I guess I was half right

It's the weekend
try calling him tomorrow 
did you leave a message or send him a text ?
he may still be away

[SMD]

Yeah, I'm hoping he has extended his stay (said he went Holland  ) but he said he would be back Thursday, not Friday as I thought

I called and texted. I'll have to wait and see

probably still drugged up in the lap of a cheap skanky prossy delayed , as you say
good luck

You have obviously been in contact with him with knowing he was going away. Did you say you couldn't collect for a while?
His feedback appears to be good, and he has sold another vehicle, although not recently, with good feedback. His other sales and purchases don't seem to have had any problems.
I understand your concern having paid the deposit, but I think you may be worrying a little unnecessarily at this moment. I also don't think reporting it to EBay so quickly will have done you any favours as it will appear that you don't trust him. He obviously has had issues previously with other buyers.
I'd just bide your time a little longer. Us northern folk aren't all bad.....
You could well have a smile on your face later this week.

Yes I probably am worrying over nothing.

However, I contacted him after making the payment when he was supposedly still in the country and again when he said he would be back. Yes I can't collect for a while but I would've liked some sort of acknowledgement, he has my mobile number and it takes less than 30 seconds to send a text

Anyway I didn't report him to Ebay
