Dominic, I AM AN IDIOT, I Need HELP!
I am a fool to have set this up like this.
My CSL Elite stopped working after 3 months of ownership. I contacted Fanatec with no response yet (seperate issue). I decided I didnt want to experience this failure again even after the repair/replacement so I went all out and purchased the PS4 Podium wheel bundle.
I plan on selling the wheel as I have no interest in F1 and mostly do rally-based racing. I figured since my previous in-stock orders had been shipped to my door 5-7 days after purchase, it would be the same case with the Podium. I ordered the bundle on the 16th of this month and I have only recieved the email saying the order has been processed.
The dumb thing I did was assume the bundle would be shipped the next day since it was available and I set up an ebay listing for 10 days. I also added 3 days for shipping the item out. A total of 13 days to work with. I am now nearing the day I would need to receive that "shipped" notification for me to be able to ship the wheel out to whoever ends up winning the item. I dont want to have to cancel the auction, I would rather just find out my orser has either been shipped or will be shipped tomorrow or the next day.
I did a dumb thing and now I am stressing. Are you able to help confirm something that will ease my mind? I dont want to screw someone over or make them wait longer than need be.
Thank you for reading, Dominic.

Looks like your gonna have to cancel the auction thats what happens to people trying to make easy money ...
Bullshit man...I would have bought just the wheelbase and completely ignored this bundle with the F1 wheel if that was an option. My csl went out and I am a console gamer, I didnt want to deal with this same issue again, so I went with the next step up. I had been wanting it anyway, so this was the perfect opportunity. You think Im hard up for money or trying to take advantage of people? I started my bidding well below all the other auctions and it put no reserve, free shipping. Does that sound like someone trying to make a quick buck?
Honestly, I would LOVE if it made it to like 800.00 or something crazy so I could recoup the extra money I had to spend on the bundle but thats not going to happen. I dont like the color, I dont play F1 games, I dont even like the blue carbon fiber weave on the PS4 DD1, I want the immersion that a top-tier wheelbase can offer.
besides your rude comment without actually knowing anything about me, I am happy to announce that I got confirmation and it will be coming on the 24th!
The topic can be closed.
How much did you get for the wheel?
I've always found it interesting what those are going for - I, like you, am not a fan of the blue color.
And it's the wheelbase, and not the wheel, that makes a system PS4 compatible, so it's not like someone can buy that blue wheel and pop it on a DD2 and get PS4 compatiblity - so I honestly don't know what the draw is.
AND if I recall, The blue wheel is NOT xbox compatible!
So in your case, even if you DID want a F1 style wheel, you'd be way better off buying the bundle you did, selling the blue wheel and getting the standard V2+a set of APM's for it.
Thank you for understanding, I will be using it for Playstation 4/5 exclusively and I already have a BMW GT2 wheel that I am very fond of. I do wish it wasn't flat-bottomed but It works very well for 540° which Is what I use it for mostly.
The F1 wheel is still currently up for sale on ebay. I will have it by the 24th and the auction ends on the 26th. I also gave myself 3 days to be able to ship it out after I have recieved payment so I will have it for 5 days to be able to review it as I said I would in the listing. I will wear latex gloves for the review so it will remain new for the buyer.
I think the appeal is for a playstation or pc user that is all about F1. It comes with the Carbon Fiber Podium Advanced Paddle Modules pre-installed which are a pretty penny by themselves and the Clubsport wheel is the equivalent of the 2020 F1 wheel I think. I believe the F1 2020 wheel is sold out (at least in the US) so people are wanting this one even though the color is horrendous...lol
