I also had a problem with receiving an item purchased on ebay. There is a place on the email when you win and item to go to if there is a problem. They contact the seller after asking how you would like the issue resolved. This worked very well and I eventually received the item I had won. The best part of this process is that you do not deal with the seller, you deal with ebay. Who knows how many other winners have been subjected to this way of doing business. Unless this seller had set a "reserve price" on the machine I would think she must proceed with the sale. Please try this, it may mean you will get your machine. And please let us know what happens.
