Would you repair this AFE air filter or return it to eBay sender

So I got this off ebay, description was box opened but brand new. The box was trashed. The lip around the edge is separating up at one side. All the plastic is there and some crazy glue should hold it back in place. And the seal will fit back in place no problem. Plus the clamping of the whole thing will hold it in place while it's in.

Or should I pay the shipping to return it. It cost me 60bucks.

Oh also there's no identifying marks saying it's afe on the filter, just the box. A little worrisome.

 

With complaints like that eBay will usually make the seller give you a full refund often including return shipping. Ebay is all about the buyer nowadays.

 

At the least I bet you can get the seller to give you a partial refund and you could keep it. Send him an email.

 

Glue it and be done.

 

It looks like you got ripped off...
That doesn't even look like an AFE filter.

 

It seems that someone bought an AFE filter, put the stock one back into the box, and sold it to you.

 

It can't be stock because the stock ses Toyota denso on it. Would have to be a no name. Anybody have a picture of an afe one in a way that we could tell?

 

You got ripped off. It looks nothing like their filters.

LOL you got a stock filter man!!!! That is not an afe filter at all!

 

Yup, looks stock to me as well......that sucks.

 

Wow you got scammed. File with Paypal now

 

Looks like a regular paper/fiber replacement filter to me. It's deffently not a washable filter. Iv had an afe befor and they come in gray and blue.

 

ya i would conact ebay thats a ripoff for sure...

 

That first picture of the air filter...actually looks like some dirt there at the bottom section of the filter element.....

 

here's a pic from my photo gallery when i changed mine.. looks pretty similar buddy.

 

u got burned........file complaint

 

And make sure you put the ebay seller name on here. As a matter of fact link the item so we can see

 

good call, make sure none of us get burned

 

Well that's fucked lol. Only my Second scam on eBay and I shop online alot! First thing I thought though is how is this different? Never having a washable filter before.

Ebay/PayPal is good though, I'll get my money back with little hassle. It's to the point these days where it's actually easier to scam the seller.

I'll stick with Amazon though for my afe filter now, I need one asap

I love tacomaworld, Damn rights I'll be posting everything. Just gotta lose all my money at this casino, drink my PBR and I'll post the item

0 negative feedback, and 90 car parts for sale right now. Maybe he was scammed just the same but regardless, I started the disputes on ebay, and emailed him.

Thanks for the heads up guys.
