I already contacted the seller and he told me there was a mistake with the order. They posted wrong listing. He is gonna send me refund.

I saved a ton of mony buying genuine Ford OEM TPMS sensors for my 2020 F150 -----on eBay.

Box looked like OEM, plastic baggies looked OEM. Paid to get them installed, activated, one by one they all died within 12 months.

ebay sucks so use caution, some idiots are, i must quote forest gump here:

"stupid id what stupid does, and you cannot fix stupid"

there are some who are vindictive and will intentionally screw you with no KY
the part above the sensor itself is nothing, only the adapter, what counts is the numbers on the sensor body.
you can cross reference those numbers. on the average, the battery is good for 5 year and some times more. you can change the battery in the old ones if you take the time, been there done that, especially with over seas vehicles which wants wayyyyyy toooooo much.

I always check the feedback history, there are professional scammers, and then there's regular Joe with a part he happen to have.
Also on supposedly new OEM parts, (seems like they have the Motorcraft packaging down pat), If the price is to good to be true,,,,,,,,,
