No the seller cannot be contacted through eBay
Gary & Travis, thank you for your suggestions on how to contact the seller, I appreciate it.
However, I'd like to suggest you give it a try and see how far you get.
I did try contacting the seller both ways prior to your suggesting it and got no where, only the following message:
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #0000ff;">"We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you.</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"> Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. </span>
We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."
