I had a VERY high price auction close earlier this evening and the user has a Hotmail account that keeps getting returned to me saying "account unknown". I have heard alot of stories about people bidding with hotmail accounts and then dumping them.
The user has 9 positives but has not won anything in 14 months!
Is Hotmail possibly down or am I just being panicky?
What to do.....?

I would give it a couple of days to see if this person contacts you. It's a good chance that they have not updated their e-mail with ebay. I have many bidders that way. And not just with hotmail. You will find that you will have many more that had AOL accounts that don't update with ebay. Usually after a couple of days, these people realize that they won the auction and will get a hold of you.
Give it the usual 7 days before filing a NPB and another 10 for the FVF though. If they want the item, they will contact you by then.
Good luck,
