Default Front axle question/help

I ordered a yaffe axle for my 12 SG and when it came in it wont fit...I did measure it and its 25.3mm....but if I use a IN caliper it measures .99in....I'm guessing it was packaged wrong some how maybe? does anyone have an axle laying around they could check for me to see...my factory axle is 24.9..

The ebay store I ordered from wont return my emails...

Your stock axle is nominally 25mm, the one you've been sent sounds like a 1", which is nominally 25.4mm. Both are probably a little smaller than nominal diameter to provide ease of assembly.
