Do you have PayPal?

Basically, email him and wait till he contacts you back I guess. I just send PayPal which has my address and its done.

Yeah, usually Ebay sends you an email announcing the "end of auction" which should at least provide the seller's email. Personal communication with the seller is highly recommended prior to payment if MO or check is being used. Try emailing the seller, including the item number and title in all correspondence. If you don't hear back from them in a couple days, then examine the auction description for any other contact info and/or request contact info (usually includes a phone#) through Ebay. As an auction winner, you will be able to do this. To avoid screw-ups, it's always best to contact them "for the total and mailing address" prior to sending funds. The Paypal is handy, because both the sending & receiving of funds is all automated, and generates emails to boot.

Good luck.
