DO NOT BUY FROM ANS GEAR or ANS EXTREME or BARBS PB!
So I bought a CP bolt-on ASA from an ebay seller, in the picture it was gloss green and had a decal on the side. It matches every bolt-on ASA on every one of my markers, which is why I bought it. The color in the picture matched the marker I planned to use it on. It didn't show up for weeks, so I emailed back and forth with the company 'til it got here.
The company is BarbsPB on eBay, the PayPal name is ANS Extreme, and their site links to ANSgear.com
When it arrived I found that it was a different model than the one pictured, the decal was on the front rather than the side, and it was longer and thinner than the one in the auction picture. It was also a light puke green with yellowish smears rather than the pictured rich dark green.
Here's the Auction:

Here's the Auction Picture:
Here's My Picture:
Because of the blurry, flashy-ness of the picture, I took a picture next to an item of the same green color as the ASA pictured in the auction. Do not make the mistake of thinking the flash washes out the color, it is in fact more yellow in real life than it is in the pictures... The flash seems to make it more green.
I've reported to them that it is a different model and color than what I ordered, and the refuse to replace it or refund me. They keep giving me CPs phone number and telling me that I've got to complain to the manufacturer directly, rather than the seller who misrepresented the item... They say that they have no responsibility.
Here's the back 'n forth:

What should I do here? I've just filed a thing with PayPal, I just want to give these guys a shot to fix their problem before I put my money in a 30 day hangup. Any advice from people who've dealt with similar issues?
Also, any contact info for BarbsPB / ANS Extreme / ANSgear?
