Buyers and sellers should contact each other within three business days after the listing ends. It is perfectly fine for you to make the first contact with the seller, using the "Contact Seller" link on the ended item page.
Tip: Remember, many Oz-Bid sellers keep regular business hours, and some do not respond to emails during the evening, on weekends, on holidays, and so on.
If you cannot contact the seller by email after you purchase an item, or you don't receive a response, you should request the member's contact information and call them.
Note: Sellers can only obtain the contact information of a bidder or buyer of one of their listings. Buyers can only obtain the contact information of a seller if they are a bidder or buyer on one of the seller's items.
A bid or Buy It Now purchase on Oz-Bid is considered a contract and you are obligated to purchase the item.
However, mistakes sometimes happen, and many sellers are willing to work with you if you communicate with them openly and honestly. If you have not done so already, you may want to request the seller's contact information and give the seller a call. Let the seller know your situation, and see if you can work things out to everyone's satisfaction.
