Got the wrong mirrors

I ordered a set of towing mirrors of off ebay. They arrived last Friday, but they are not what was pictured. The installation papers say they fit a Ford Econoline van. But the seller tells me that these were take off mirrors from a 2007 F-550. Here is some pics, I know they wont fit my truck...









Here is a link to the mirrors, I thought I was getting. eBay Motors: FORD F250 F350 F450 F550 Telescopoing Mirrors (item 190244681697 end time Aug-15-08 12:57:19 PDT)

Yep, looks like you got the wrong one allright. Contact the seller and see if was an honest mistake. Don't look anything like the discription listed. Hopefully he will make it right and fast.

I have been chatting with the seller all morning. He still says they are the right mirrors. Says he took them off of a 2007 F-550. I may have to make a paypal claim.

The set in the ad are the same as on my truck. He is picturing a used set. The set that he sent you are for a van and appear to be new. Can you email him both pics to see? I'm wondering if labels got switched and some one has your mirrors.

The mirrors I received are new. I asked him if they may have gotten switched, but he insists they are the correct mirror. I emailed him the pictures a couple hours ago, but no reply yet.

Try contacting other buyers and see if he gave them the shaft too. That is screwed up, I'd be livid. Definitely get PayPal involved, and alert Ebay as well as they might be able to take action for misrepresenting the item. What you received is CLEARLY not what was pictured.

How do I find out who purchased the other mirrors? I am giving him one more chance. If he doesn't admit his mistake and come good for it. I have no choice but get paypal involved...
