Black listed.... Fool us once. Any chance payment was paypal via a credit card? If so, report fraud to the cc company.

Only do transactions thru paypal, dont trust anyone! Period sorry bout your loss..

Thanks for posting this. We have a good thing with being able to buy, sell and trade on sites like this, but a couple of idiots make it harder for us all.

If he doesn't send the ball , contact the Police where he lives.

Please be clear----I offered Paypal or a check and he chose a check.
Hi everyone, thank you for blasting without hearing anything from the seller. The money was received, the ball was shipped. A confirmation has been sent to the buyer. Date expected was 10/15 with no update from USPS since 10/11??? I dont see how this is my fault.
The only reason I'm at fault----I havent logged into Ballreviews in a week due to A) Moving out of my parents house and away from my computer and B) moving to a new building at work and not being able to access the internet with bosses breathing down my neck.
Mr. Sewell----What do I have to gain from not sending you the ball? I can send you a screen shot of my bank account showing that I had my account charged by USPS? So I gained what? $10 out of this transaction? 15? I have bigger fish to fry than $10 or $15. If you want your money back, that's fine. Ship the ball back whenever the USPS gets the ball to you and you'll get your money. It wasnt me who did you wrong. Please be clear on that. Thank you.

i never have recieved a confirmation? i have all my messages that have been sent and recieved .what would you think if i had sold you the ball and you waited as long as i have with no responce .your last login was on the 17th with no responce back to me. i asked for a tracking# and please do send me the tracking # .by the way ball did not come today. ok tracking# was sent-- today-- for the --post office ---that explains a lot.ok update got the tracking# working and says ball was shipped on the 11th had i of known it was the post office i would not have said anything haveing delt with them i know ther very slow .i will post back when i get it.

By looking at this.....not sure this happened but will say anyone can create a label FedEx or USPS and not ship the ball. Just because a label was created does not mean the ball shipped.
FedEx Ground is the way to ship. Cheaper than anything out there with reasonable shipping times. Anyone can create an account and enter e-mail addy's for buyer and seller. You will get an e-mail stating ball was tendered and received and any exceptions.

Not taking any side here. The only time I sent a ball (pack of 2) USPS was to Alaska as I was asked by the buyer to use for price purposes. It took 3 + weeks!
Estimate from FedEx was 8 days but 3 times as much!

I always put CONUS in anything I list. FedEx Ground is way faster than USPS Parcel. FedEx Ground is way cheaper than UPS with same service time. Tracking is better with UPS and FedEx Ground. Tracking at USPS can be poor. You need to factor in size of package and weight. If shipping to Canada or Alaska in this case I would only ship USPS but factor in time.
Back to original OP. It would be interesting to know when label was created and ball actually shipped. I had this happen to me on a recent transaction where I was the buyer. Seller created label and it sat from Thurs to Monday afternoon before it shipped. That's horse puckey.

I'm not worried about anyone taking sides. I just want Billy to get his ball. I had no use for it and therefore shipped it away. That's why I listed all of the equipment that I did. I understand the venom towards bad sellers and if I can do anything to make the situation right, I will.

The bottom line out of any transaction is to communicate. When an agreement is in place, it is the buyer's responsibility to send the money as stated. However, once the buyer has completed this, everything else is up to the seller. The seller must ship as promised, when promised, and communicate everything. With as many bad deals that have transpired on Ballreviews over the years, I would be upset as well if the seller did not send me the tracking number and could not be contacted for days. I would think immediately I was being scammed because of the other horrible deals on Ballreviews that I have seen. Thus, once you shipped, you should have sent the buyer the tracking number immediately. So, even if you were not on here for days or weeks, the buyer would still have the tracking number and could follow the progress without bothering you.

what is CONUS?
I hope we find out if the buyer gets this ball.
USPS especially parcel post is a very slow way to ship something.
I would recommend never ship USPS Parcel post.
FedEx and UPS are great

CONUS=Continental United States

I read the heading and the warning thought it was was about the high scoring that comes from those occasionally high scoring no-thumbers!
Way off base!

USPS is not all that slow. I have had some parcels come very quickly across the country, equivalent or faster than UPS. But I've also had some come from 2 states away take 30 days to arrive.
The true bad part about USPS is a confirmation number (sometimes used as a true tracking number) costs extra and the all important insurance costs a lot extra. Both old and new balls MUST have insurance, in my opinion.
Both UPS and FEDEX include both (insurance up to $100) free and they guaranatee delivery in xxx days. USPS will not guarantee delivery times; they say it will fall within in a range of days depending on the cost of shipping. Parcel post's delivery range is with in 28 days. Priority Mail' delivery range supposedly is 3- 5 days but never guaranteed.

Recieved the ball today. no thumb is ok to deal with just request not to ship via post office.

Glad the ball was received. Will give buyer the option on selling in the future. I tried to keep things as cheap as possible----which goes along with the price on my items. In the future, I will allow the buyer to dictate. Billy, I'm glad you rec'd the ball and I hope you like it.
