Non Responding Ebay Seller - HELP

Hey guys,
I could use some suggestions here. I was watching an item on Ebay and it ended without meeting its reserve. I was the high bidder, but obviously I didn't win. I contacted the seller, who had zero feedback, and asked if we could make a deal outside of Ebay. He agreed and we came up with a price. Since Ebay doesn't allow emails to be sent through Ebay Messaging I didn't know how to contact him outside of Ebay. I decided to have him relist the item on Ebay with a BIN price so I could buy it (this was I'm protected by Ebay). I bought it, sent payment via Paypal (protected again) and haven't heard from him since. Funny thing is we were communicating back and forth on Monday a few times and on Tuesday so its not as if he doesn't communicate. I sent payment, sent him a note saying I purchased the item and sent payment and then even emailed him to his AOL account (which was listed on my Paypal payment). I haven't heard back from him. The funny thing is my Paypal payment shows that it hasn't been accepted by the seller yet.
What do you guys make of it? Should I cancel the payment? Wait it out? Obviously I'm going to try to contact him some more, but what if he doesn't respond?

I'll wait it out and see what happens.
<< <i>He has not been properly verified with PayPal (yet); that's why your payment hasn't been claimed or accepted yet. I wouldn't sweat it at all. If he doesn't contact PP and get his info verified, you can just cancel your payment. Give it a couple days. I've ran into this situation many times with 0 feedback sellers. They're new to the game. >>
+1, I think you need to give the situation a bit more time.
