Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
A little history: When I finally started my project vehicle in early May, I discovered that the rack was stuck in the pump. I was able to shut down the runaway before any damage occured to my knowledge.
So the decision was made to go ahead and upgrade to a 913 pump. I contacted a seller that had been advertising pumps for some time and I specifically asked about the availability of the 913 pump.
In mid May, I purchased one "buy it now" and specified once again that I wanted a 913 in the Paypal.
We had some trouble communicating because his ad title was being flagged and bounced as SPAM by my ISP. I informed him of this fact and nothing changed. It seems that I had no trouble communicating with him but he could not communicate with me.
In late June a pump arrived. The reason it took so long was because he said he was having trouble with his UPS account.
The pump was sitting inside a thin cardboard box with no plugs in the holes and a piece of newspaper for packaging. The box was pretty much crushed due to the weight of the pump and lack of packaging. There were holes where the tape had let loose that I could (and did) stick my arm in.
Upon inspection, the pump turned out to be a 911. I emailed him and he said all P7100 pumps are the same so just be happy.
I explained to him that there are differences and what they are and he agreed to swap the 911 for a 913. I shipped it back in early July.
I left a number of emails requesting a status of the pump and was finally answered with he was waiting for a set of stock delivery valves and leave me alone.
A few weeks later I emailed him and he said that his computer crashed and he lost my address.
It has been over a month since that last email and he has refused to answer emails or the phone or return my phone calls.
I have filed a case with Square Trade but it appears that he is refusing to deal with them either.
So the long and short is that it appears that I am out ~$485 but maybe by posting this, I can save someone else a bunch of grief.
Here is the last pump auction he had on Ebay:

Have one of his expired auctions on my "Watch List" as a matter of fact. I think the same darn picture too. Makes me wonder if he even has one at all. I was going to ask for a better picture and for the serial number but my instincts made me just drop the subject. Wheew!!! I'm sorry this happened to you, but am grateful that you posted this on here.
