I won an item but its not showing in purchases

Hi everyone. 

Yesterday I won an item, I was the only bidder and when the listing ended, there was no option to pay, & its not showing in purchases. Luckily I had previously added the item to my watch list so I'm still able to see the listing that ended which says item sold, I am the only bidder so I don't understand what has happened? The top part of the listing is highlighted in grey "item sold" 

 

Thanks.

It's possible the seller's account has been suspended by ebay and the item withdrawn.

Can you post the item number ?

Where would I find the item number? I've looked on the listing but I am not seeing  any item number.

 

I've taken a screen shot of the listing, I've covered up the sellers name to comply with rules.

The bid history shows the only bid being placed by someone else: eBay item bid history

I found it through sold/completed listings via the title but it shows in bidding history as only having 1 bid and the bidder has 5639 points/feedback.

 

Did you bid on another account ?.

I bidded from my account. I only have one account. I don't understand why its showing something else. Unless somebody else put a bid in but is only showing one bid?

I don't know it seems a bit odd. It should be showing 2 bids.

 

I was the first to bid so maybe somebody else had put a bid in but retracted it. That is the only thing I can make sense of.
