thanks. I will try to get the sellers contact information..the ad did NOT state any color, but if I was sellling a black part, I would not show a silver part, and would state what color the part was..also, if I was a retail seller, I would have my business no. very visible....we will see....

Sounds like you are out $35 so far, plus aggravation.
I would send a squawk letter to eBay, and put a copy in your "Screwed on eBay" file and go on with your life.

send me a PM if you want to sell it. I have a little scratch on mine that's been bothering me.

Ronzi,

It has nothing to do with money...No one likes getting screwed esp. on ebay...If I had spent $1000, would you tell me to get on with my life...?

Okay , after threatening negative feedback, the guy emails me telling that his grandmother just died thus not returning my emails. Who knows? He is offering me a refund if I promise not to leave negative feedback. PerfectLap, if you want the part at my cost, email me..it retails for much more, and I would rather a forum member who needs it have it, rather than letting him profit from it...

That's why I don't buy stock in Ebay. I use it all the time and even found my Boxster their but as a responsible company they have allot to learn. I think it may be the only company in the NASDAQ 100 that doesn't have a 1-800 its buyer's can call when there is a problem. I find that incredible.
I got screwed for $800 on a 'new" bicycle frame that had stripped threads where the cranks would go. So basically it was a pile of junk. a costly lesson that ebay is nothing more than web page with huge profits and ZERO repsonsibilities.

Yeah, the fact that you can't TALK to anyone at ebay pisses me off too..just sent you a PM PerfectLap.

If item is not as described, or description was misleading, return it (you pay for shipping).
If you payed with credit card via Paypal, file a charge back with your credit card company. Otherwise you will lose money ($25) with the Paypal resolution action. Ebay doesn't do much to solve the problem if you received something, no matter if it doesn't work or whatever.

Docdyh,
No, but it isn't $1,000. It's $35.
You solicited opinions about what to do.
That's my opinion about what to do.
If you want to pursue your thirty-five bucks to the ends of the earth, have fun, and I hope you get it back.
