Ask the seller to give you your money back. Show them what the shifter should look like. Use a photo of the B&M, Megan or R-Side. If they refuse, file a claim with Paypal or Ebay, preferably PayPal through their Buyer Protection Plan so you have the best chance of getting all your money back.

Good luck!
