Default eBay question

Was searching through eBay to buy some needles for the Minnesota. Found a seller with just what I wanted. But, no way to contact them. I spent over a half hour going from page to page to page looking for the "contact seller" link. It's not there any more.
I found one reference to click on Buy-It-Now, then email the sizes you want. I suspect eBay has rigged it so you can't contact the seller until after you've committed to buy.
That doesn't help me at all.

Am I missing something? Is there a "contact seller" button I'm missing?

One more thing, is there a real brick and mortar store that sells these odd ball needles?
I'm fine with on line ordering, but I don't have a PayPal account and won't get one.
Most of the results for the Google searches come up with eBay.
I'd rather do business without having to go through eBay.

There should be an ask the seller a question button towards the bottom of the listing, along the left hand side. That send an "R-bay" message to the seller.

Good luck.

Yes, it is at the very bottom of the seller's listing before Ebay starts with showing related auctions. It says "ask a question".

OK, I went to an auction I'm watching and found it. However on the other site with the needles, an eBay store, here's the link: http://stores.ebay.com/jimtalyinc/19...fsub=276815016 ..... I can't find an "ask a question" or "contact seller" link at all.

Ahh yes, thats because you are at a "store" not an individual auction....

up at the very top there is a highlighted owners name..... click that and it takes you to the sellers info page and you can contact them from there.

greywuuf,

Tried that earlier and couldn't find the contact info.

grayhare,
Thanks, I got your PM and found it.

(Down at the bottom on the left is a small link "About the Seller" , the contact info is in there.)

Just went to that link Joe, & if you look down the left side of the page you should see "about the seller". Click on that & another page comes up & under the top menu bar is "contact us"
Hope this helps.

Have you tried Treadle Lady? I don't know if any of the needles she has listed would fit the bill, but she would know where you could find them, and she takes payment by postal order.
