Hello Ford forums members,
like most modern computer age people i like the convenient's of shopping online for car parts gauging prices or looking for a bargain or two, this brings me to my point, we were all taught at some point in our life that if something is too good or too cheap to be true it probably isnt, so using that logic when shopping online helps to gauge what we are getting involved in or stuck with, But when did it become the ebay seller practice too price fake items at the lower end of genuine prices? i payed $130 each for 2 "genuine" Bosch 044 pumps, that with some careful after purchase research i found to be $7 alibaba specials, so if u buy any Bosch 044 pumps of ebay make sure they have a helicoil in the feed side of the pumps. cheers Shane |

Did you ask the seller for a refund?
If the product description doesn't match what you bought, you are within your rights to return the goods and request your money back.

Plenty of Chinese fake items on eBay. All will have photos of the genuine item, but will ship you a fake. Not sure what rock you have been living under. |

If it says Bosch packaging, I assume the packaging is the only thing that's Bosch.
Also ALWAYS check the negative feedback. Quote:

What I'm saying is if its states Genuine, and the buyer can prove otherwise they are entitled to their money back. this particular Ebay store also states 30 day money back. and has a good rating They also offer fake 044 pumps on their site so it is possible the wrong part was shipped. who knows, either way the OP should not be out of pocket. A quick Google and it seems the 044 pump has a fair bit of counterfeit issues, and shows how to identity the correct one. I suggest the OP use some of these images if making a claim.

I just got refunded over $1K by eBay themselves for a dispute because "the sellers description didn't match the product" that I received. It took about 2 weeks to resolve after the goods were received back by the seller.
