Default Warning about eBay parts retailer.

I wanted to provide everyone with a PSA concerning an eBay retailer of import parts. I purchased what was being represented by their photographs as a factory Volvo oil filler cap from a retailer on eBay. The price plus shipping was basically in line with what other retailers charge for the Volvo part. However when the part arrived it was in fact NOT the Volvo OEM part it was a cheap aftermarket cap.

I filed my complaint with eBay and was examining their feedback and while they have 99% positive feedback their negative feedback comments were for sending the wrong parts or bait and switch tactics. I ended up ordering the real Volvo oil cap from FCP and it should show up next week.

This is the cap I actually received from the vendor , clearly not a Volvo part or packaging.

$8.99 + $8.50 shipping? Ouch! I bought mine at O'Reilly Auto for $7.99
It's an after market cap but has a 1 year warranty and fits great. I have them on my S40 and S80.
