I will update this as more information becomes available. I purchased the Aqua Marine in this auction off of ebay and paid for the ball within minutes (have receipt). Communication has seized and multiple messages have gone unanswered. However, he had time to list the Double Helix shown above in an ebay auction after I had sent the first 2 messages that are still unanswered asking where the ball is or where the tracking number is. If I get a tracking number I will advise and if nothing is received I will do the same. I am nervous now because reviewing his feedback he recently received a negative on ebay and the feedback is eerily the same as my case. An item was purchased and paid for, but no communication and a refund somehow occurred with the negative feedback. I guess we shall see how this will work out.

Update: Sent a 3rd message, still no response, had to file a complaint with Paypal and eBay....I guess another deadbeat seller. If he would not have listed the Double Helix for sale after I sent the first 2 messages (4 days after I purchased the Aqua Marine) I could pass the benefit of the doubt and say well maybe somethign happened, etc. Not the case this time.

Buyer beware.

Update: I left negative feedback as he still has not contacted me and now has relisted the ball for sale on ebay at the same price I bought it for. I just do not understand what is going on. Buyer beware!

here is a link to the new auction:

Update: Almost a week since the last update and nothing new other than Paypal is almost ready to close my claim as the seller has not responded (according to Paypal). Ball I bought is still listed on eBay and obviously the seller has no intention of sending for whatever reason.

I guess what I just do not understand is I paid for the ball within moments of purchasing it and he relisted it for the same price. Why?

Final Update:

Paypal closed the case and refunded me my money because he never responded to them, never shipped the ball, and never refunded me himself. Almost 3 weeks after paying I have my money back.

Buyer beware.
