eBay: 1982 Prime Computer

[Wayne Sudol]

Had the same problem with a seller.  I always got the "seller hasn't
accepted the payment. It was trying because ebay didn't give them the
correct info when they cheked into it. Finally, the seller checked the
account details and said the account was linked to an "email" address that
they hadn't used in a long time.
