The long one goes on the rear of the air box and goes up into the frame....the short one on carb side.. not sure if that’s your real question??

So wondering why the seller told me that was normal?
I ordered 2 pairs, both came like that

He would not accept a return either, with out me paying the return shipping

Lemme guess. Another EBAY drct70-411help ''quality issue''. The guy's stuff sucks! STAY AWAY from the temptation to buy cheap aftermarket parts.
Too bad you didn't ask if the guy is reputable, you would have got a better response form members here. Do not buy anything from him.
Pay the return shipping and get the money back.

Ya he was pretty rude.
Turned it in to Ebay as a defective item with that picture .
They refunded me.

So I emailed him & said ebay refunded me.
If he wanted to split the shipping wirh me I would send them back.

Got a nasty reply

That was my 1st thought too when I started reading. We should have a sticky on this guy. Cant believe he's still doing this crap and still in business. Someday, someone is going to come looking for him.

If the item is defective, and you request a refund within 30 days, ebay will see that you get all your money back. All the seller can do is request you return the item first, but he must pay for the return shipping and you will be refunded as soon as it arrives. I've been on both ends of this deal. I've gotten refunds for crap I've purchased, and as a seller, I've had to refund money and pay for return shipping for good stuff a buyer said was crap. Let the feedback be your guide. Before making a serious purchase, I always check a seller for negative feedback. I like ebay, but as a seller, there fees have gotten too high.

Let the feedback be your guide.
Except in this case he has a 100% -don't know how he does it maybe someone more savvy than me can explain. I just know from the previous warnings here don't buy from him. There are many other great places to get stuff from you'd think he would have worn out his welcome by now.

It's easier to get your money back than to leave a negative feedback. That's why he has 100%. All his listings say NO RETURNS! BUT Ebay says money back guarantee if the item isn't ''as described''. That IS what MSS is dealing with. Ebay's feedback system is broken. Not at all what it used to be, I prefer Amazon's return policy. You don't want the item? Okay, here is a printable return label... Send it back. Done

If I receive something from an ebay seller that's crappy or defective, I do still leave positive feedback, but I leave a comment saying the item was crappy or defective. Most ebay sellers are that, just sellers, they usually know nothing about what they're selling, but if they give enough refunds on an item, they'll get the message. Often, I'll get the refund and get to keep the item as well. Amazon's ok too, but the refunds aren't as quick or consistent because they often deal with third party sellers. I agree, the ebay feedback system isn't as clear as is used to be, but they usually side on the side of the buyer, not the seller.

I have been super upset with EBay since I got screwed over a purchase about 2 years ago. I was totally in the right and could clearly prove that the seller was totally miss leading people by screen shots of the original post, and everything else. I got screwed out of damn near 50 bucks and the item was only $29 but after shipping with tracking back to china it totaled nearly $50. And then because they couldn’t check the tracking after it was received by customs in China it showed not delivered and I did not get my refund. Even after I sent the item back and paid more money for shipping because I had rather give my money to the United States Postal Service then give my money to that POS I still got screwed. It truly disappointed me with EBay and PayPal. I still use both services but now I buy with the opinion that it’s a non secure payment.

Sorry to hear about that, but things have changed for the better in the last two years. I got screwed for $200 on ebay about 10 years ago from a seller that never sent my item and then cleared out.

E-Bay is almost always a crap shoot ~ ASK AROUND if you can before buying .

I too got screwed several times some years back .

I also was hosed badly by mis represented cars twice, then two years ago I bought my current shop truck based on the pictures and am still extremely pleased with it .

LOL ! =:cool: .

We go to Las Vegas ('Lost Wages') and i don't gamble because it's a lead pipe cinch I won't win a dime .

SWMBO on the other hand, always breaks even and occasionally wins $1,000 or more .

I like walking around the outskirts of Sin City, I know where the better junkyards and canyons to hike are, I do my thing and then when she's hungry or has more $ than she wants to have in hand, she calls me, I trot on over and we hit the buffets .

The good thing about life is : even though it's a crap shoot, you have the ability to make it better or worse .

Choose wisely .
