My seller has an almost 99% positive rating so I do trust him, but I checked and I never did get a confirmation email. The purchase is still "pending" so I'll wait to see if it moves onto the actual transaction section and if it does, I'll contact the seller.
OMG! I have a Gmail account which I never use and I just checked...... that's where the order confirmation was sent. I have NO IDEA how that happened but I feel better now. Thanks for your advice.
