Sorry to post this twice in 2 different forums... but I had to!

I bought a ball from Jeff Ripic (ballceller.com on EBAY) over a month ago on EBAY and he still hasn't EVEN SHIPPED the ball off yet!!!

I e-mailed him a few days after the auction ended (and after the time that I should have gotten it) and asked where the ball was at and that I hadn't got it yet and he replied with, "I'll see what's up." He said he'd find out what the deal was and he'd get back to me. But since then, he won't return my messages! I've been trying to e-mail him and have gotten no response over a month now.

He sent me a UPS tracking number which is: 1Z T97 T09 03 4198 149 9

I called UPS on the phone and gave them the tracking number to see if they could track it down in case it had gotten lost and they said they have received the shipper's (Jeff is the shipper) billing information electronically over a month ago, but that he had not actually dropped the ball off yet.

And if you go to UPS.com, and enter this tracking number, it says the same thing.

They said he hasn't even dropped it off yet in order for them to ship it!!! And that he'd ONLY filed the electronic billing information.

So I know for a fact that he hasn't even shipped my dadburn ball off yet. He's got my money... about 125.00 worth of cash!

What would it hurt, Jeff? You've got my money... all you have to do is SHIP the dang ball off!!!!!

Or just refund my money. It would be of no lost to you since you still have the ball in your posession!

Sounds bad to me but I did purchase two seperate balls form him both through Ebay and i had no problems with him or the balls.  He answered my emails and questions very quickly and shipped the balls quick also.  I had no problems with him.  Perhaps he is having some personal life issues or something thats interfering with his business.
