File not as described and have eBay step in if he won't deal with you. Sometimes being right isn't a good thing. :unsure:

I requested a return last night, and haven't heard anything all day. Don't think I've ever had someone take so long. I've never requested a return before, just partial refunds.

Something I think about when looking at evil-bay used performance engine parts in general - if they were any good, and not worn out, used up, or damaged - would they be for sale???? Hobby level racers tend to keep stuff that is still good, and sell their junk parts anyway they can.

Two sellers will put up parts but if they don't go high enough someone else will out bid you at the last second. Click on the buyer's name and see 79% activity with this seller.

Seller finally replied, on the same day that I could escalate the concern. Offered to let me keep them with a partial refund or send them back for a full refund. I sent them back. I'll let you know if if I have any further problems.

I would use sand paper and install the cams. How much was partial refund? 50%? How much did you pay?

Be sure you get return shipping or get eBay involved. Not as described.
