Default Ebay short shifter problem/question..

After i got the high bid on this item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...400685962&rd=1 this one guy sent me an e-mail sayin this....

do not buy from this guy....i have been ripped off before from him and
the shifter WILL NOT fit an accord...accord / prelude shifters are
cable set up and NOT the typical ball shifter set up as seen in that
picture...i'm telling you THAT SHIFTER IS FOR A CIVIC not an accord


can all you accord "know-it-alls" check that shifter out and see if its really for an accord? Thanks.

unbid it. i doubt a guy like that would be a retailer and would stock an accord one. Better than to be stuck w/ a winning bid on something.

there are only a couple reasons you can retract a bid. one of them is that the seller listed the item wrong, or the seller changed the listing, i can't remember which one. i had to retract one when the bolt pattern on a wheel was listed wrong. ebay says they make record of it, but as long as you have a valid reason, it won't be held against you. did you email the guy to tell him it's the wrong listing, and that he should change it? if he doesn't respond, or denies it, you can also send an email to ebay complaining that the guy is listing the item wrong and won't correct it.
