so angry.. I've received a fake BMC CDA induction kit from the seller on ebay.

Question: CDA not original? Check how to find out…!!!

Before buying a CDA? online, if you’re not sure about who’s selling or simply where the item comes from, use these simple control techniques to see where your CDA? comes from.The first and only product in the sector, with patent and deposited trade mark.The 4 things you can do are:
1 – Check that the trade mark BMC is visible inside the carbon cylinder, printed directly in the treated carbon itself, saying “Patented System”.
2 – Check that the trade mark BMC stand outs in the flanges (engine side and air inlet side), pressed in when moulded.
3 – Check that the CDA? box contains the accessories in a plastic bag marked BMC.
4 – Then check that all distinctive elements are present in the CDA? box (together) with their respective BMC markings, as stated in points 1,2,3.

after check wat the BMC showed on its website, I'm 100% sure, this one is not genuine.!!!!

Email the seller stating your findings, give him say 48 hours to respond and if he doesn't, report him for selling fake goods and make sure the link is saved or print it off, keep all details.

I would raise a dispute with ebay in that case, the item is not as described.

It is possible that the seller thinks it is genuine, and hasn't deliberately set out to scam buyers.

edit, yes, good idea contact the seller first.

if its fake and you have paid via paypal you will get ure money back no problems. if you go back through that sellers feedback he bought a CDA filter in nov 2009 so he probably thought it was genuine to be fair to him?

[Maxxed_Ross]

as above, he possibly thought it was a genuine one. I know from looking at the pics I had my doubts if it was a fake or not


I'm sure it'll do the same job though, the internals of all these filters are almost identical anyway

[Smokie]

and just to rub salt in the wound he only paid 42 quid for it!

[kkman]

*******....even the size is wrong , it is 70-130, but what he has described is 80-150.

I cann't fit it with the accessories I'v bought form larkspeed.com

[talkingcars]

Go back to the seller, if no result then ebay and paypal.

If he doesn't reply me, Can I still get the money back through ebay customer service and paypal???
