Anyone know how to get in contact with an eBay underbidder?

Second chance offer

Not sure exactly why none of the things suggested worked. Since the auction was cancelled, eBay said it could be relisted, but no second chance offer. Then I recognized the underbidder’s eBay name. He bought a card from me last week. Went back to that auction and contacted him through that. And was able to make the deal. Thanks for the ideas. It all worked out.

Nice! Glad it worked out despite eBay and their policies.
