I got ripped off by....

Is there a away to contact Ferrari and let them know?

 

Have you contacted paypal? It should be an insured payment

 

File a claim through paypal. I have had to do this a couple of time and each time I got nearly immediate results.

What did you order? If I have it on CD/DVD, you're welcome to a free copy.

 

This is one great thing about using Paypal.... Your money is insured and it comes from the sellers credit card from their account. Just file a claim within the 45 days from the final sale.

 

too late.. Paypal accepts claims within 45 days after payment made.......

 

IIRC that is the guy in Florida who sells Ferrari manual reprints on eBay. If this is correct, I also had a problem with him a few years ago. Contact PayPal and your credit card company. In addition, if this was an eBay transaction, please leave negative feedback so that the rest of us will be forewarned.

 

What is his ebay seller ID? Just his email isn't gonna help, unless that is his EBAY Id.

Grazie,

DM

I'd assume this is him. Thanks for the warning!

If it is the guy I have in mind, he has used several different user ids on eBay. Unfortunately, this trick is not unusual when it comes to lousy sellers. I would be extremely reluctant to buy anything from someone who does not have a very long and very positive seller feedback history (i.e. a rating in the hundreds or thousands with 99% or more positive). Also, take a look at the detailed seller ratings. These are the stars that appear at the top of each seller's feedback page. It seems like buyers are more likely to honestly rate their experience there than in the comments.

 

I just checked my records and we are talking about the same people. In my case, I made the mistake of paying them directly back in 2003. I was rewarded with unauthorized charges on my credit card. Straightening out the mess was not a pleasant experience...

Here is the party in question:

White Racing Products
5555 W. Linebaugh Ave
Suite 203
Tampa, FL 33624

They either currently are or were at one time also located at:

White Racing Products
9946 Redmond Ct.
Indianapolis, IN 46236

As I mentioned before, they have used several different user ids on eBay. Beware!!

 

You should ask him to provide the tracking number.
If you sent a package twice and it was returned......would you not re ship with a tracking number just to follow its progress?

 

It sounds like this dude is pulling your chain.... Request a tracking number!

 

USPS will not provide tracking numbers, but you are right--If I was the seller I would send it FedEx and provide a tracking number to ease the buyers mind...

 

If he is claiming to use USPS. Then ask for a Delivery Confirmation number. USPS doesn't have a "proper" tracking number but for an extra charge of .75 (I think) you can buy a Delivery Confirmation number that will show when the package leaves and when it is delivered. Anytime I send using USPS I always get a "DC#" to prove to the other person that the item has been sent...and not have to just take my word on it.

 

I also used this vendor. I think he is just either very lazy or totally unorganized. It took me almost a month from time of payment to recieve my literature from him. Hope you get your stuff.

 

Glad it worked out Dennis!

 

Nonsense, USPS offers Track & Confirm, with tracking info updating every night http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm. I just tracked a package sent to me week before Christmas all the way to my doorstep. My main dislike of USPS though is my local post office likes to leave the pink 'sorry we missed you' slips - in my mailbox, while I'm home, meaning they were to lazy to get out of the truck and even walk to my front door.

Glad you got your package!

 

Latest Ebay trick by sellers: Low selling price on your auctions got you down? Fake having damage and balk to buyer as there is no downside for you and Negative feedback will be removed


Recently bought a nice Marcel Massini book
"Ferrari 250 LM, Marcel Massini, Collectible, EUC, Printed in Great Britain"
from seller lhh608

It was a great price on a rare book from a seller's No Reserve auction. I promptly paid and the next day I received an email stating that during packing two pages were torn so the book was not being shipped and my money was being fully refunded. I emailed back and asked for a photo of the damage, seller responded positively but photo never came. No response to reminder.

2 weeks later I left Negative Feedback. Seller responded like a scorched wildcat with a strongly worded email and petitioned eBay. 2 days later eBay removed my negative feedback and the seller has 100% positive.

SELLERS - BOTTOM LINE, You don't need to sell and eBay will wash ALL negative feedback.

 

Has the item been relisted?

 

No, but if he felt that one neg feedback was so awful then why didn't he prevent it by just sending the image? Remember that I requested the photo, he agreed to it and then when did not send I reminded him before leaving negative feedback.

That is just inconsistent behavior.
