Fuel Pak Question
All's well that ends well. The seller finally agreed to take it back. I pointed out that the ad was a little misleading and that they should have said it was for bikes manufactured for sale in California. Of course a PayPal dispute wasn't what they wanted either. Thanks for all that commented.

But here's my SOP for eBay buying: The moment an item shows up & isn't exactly what I was expecting, I pull up the eBay ad and do a screen-capture of it before I ever contact them.
It's far too easy for them to change things, even after the auction is over. Now, eBay can pull up logs & see if the entry was changed and when, but this is much easier.
Actually had to do that once, when the item was advertised as "3 in stock" and after I sent the money, I got an email saying it was backordered & had a 3-6 week wait (when I needed it within 2 weeks & paid for 2-day shipping).
They tried to play the "No no, it says Usually In Stock!" line & wanting to charge me a fee to refund it, but when I emailed them my screen-caps of the original ad & a "refund 100% of my money or I open an official complaint and possibly look into suing for fraudulent advertising" their attitude changed over night.

Thanks for the tip. I chalked this one up to me making a mistake and them not really giving a good decription on the product and I think changing the p/n. But it all worked out, I will return the item tomorrow and hopefully by Jan 3-4 I should have my money back. I will ship with return receipt and tracking.
