Sorry...Maybe I should change he to we....The last response said "we decided"..I should'nt assume it was a guy selling parts. Nothing wrong with junking your own column..After all...You own it.

I recently bought a "two Honda Cbr600F4i front rotors", the pics were in the auction. When I got them they were of course 2 of the same side

The way I looked at it was the ad was misleading but it was my responsibility as well to check the pics and know what I was bidding on. They were at the last moment as well so I didn't get the answer to my email and I bid anyway. If I would have examined the pic a little better or asked for clarification(wasn't his fault that it was at the last minute) I wouldn't have to sell these suckers on ebay individually. Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed...but now it's a lesson learned and I don't fall prey to ebay fever as easy anymore.

"THIS IS A TILT STEERING COLUMN WHICH WAS USED ON THE 1967-72 CHEVROLET AND GMC PICKUPS. IT IS MISSING THE POINTER FOR THE SHIFT SELECTOR.

QUESTIONS WELCOME.
PAYMENT BY PAYPAL, CASHIERS CHECK, MONEY ORDER, OR PERSONAL CHECK WITH A 10 DAY WAIT. BUYER PAYS ACTUAL SHIPPING CHARGES NO HIDDEN HANDLING FEES. WE SHIP IN THE USA ONLY,CANADA WITH PRE APPROVAL. "

In my opinion the key words here are "QUESTIONS WELCOME". Had you "asked" you may have gotten the answer you needed to make the decision if it's original or not. Van columns can be "used on 1967-1972 trucks" so that part was not totally untrue.

"Seller's payment instructions & return policy
A FULL REFUND ON AUCTION PRICE WILL BE GIVEN IF NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED; DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF SHIPPING"

If the column was not what you wanted then by their return policy you should have sent it back and got purchase price refunded no matter what the reason you are unsatisfied. Here is the other penny in my 3 cents worth, When you "BID" on an auction you are "legally" agreeing to the terms listed in the auction. If they had said "no returns" then you would have to bite the dust on it. Too many times people bid without ASKING QUESTION first. If you don't ask because it's ending then You better make sure you agree with all the list says. P.S no that was not my auction.

I had the same thing happen to me as djracer the seller never sent me the cost of shipping invoice that I asked for , the one I received was from ebay so he said .Anyway we ended up going through square trade or whatever they call it big waste of my time time They go with the guy they make the most money off and the joke of the hole thing is the guy spent 20 bucks on a medeator and the whole case was over a 2 bucks differance in shipping so I never received the item or the money I sent back.Live and learn.
