Here is a can I recently purchased on eBay! Thought the condition was once and a fair price. The first 2 pics are from the listing the 3rd and 4th pic are the can that arrived! Pretty sure it's the same can! At least the seller claims it to be..."it's the only veedol can I have" So I thought it would be fun post pics, although I know it will be difficult to tell the differences. Thanks,     eBay seller:rolisautoandmusclecarsllc

The seller must think that you are blind. Placement of the text on front is in different places. The text on the rear of the can is different.
I would be filing a claim...item received not as described!

What a Joke!! I saw it in two seconds that it's not the same. Look at the placement of the text relative to the features on the can.

You got scammed. I had the same thing with a Texaco quart a few years ago. Won it on ebay and guy sent a pos thinkin I would accept. Wrong!
Send it back with proper feedback.
Good luck!

I have been to this sellers place. The people have no clue what they are selling. Im sure it was an honest mistake and they will take it back.

I hope it was an honest mistake because I like to believe that most people in this hobby "ARE" basically honest, but the differences are so blatantly obvious that its hard to believe they shipped the wrong can!
Of course the seller could have told someone else to "pack up the veedol can" and this is what got thrown in the box!

How can you say it will be difficult to tell the differences? This is obviously not the same can you bid on. Among other things,just look at the WHITE "Tidewater Oil Company..Los Angeles New York" text on the back of the can in the auction. Now look at that same text on the can you received and notice it's all in BLACK and notice it says San Francisco Houston Tulsa New York. Get your money back with shipping included..

Most sellers State NO Returns, PP sees it differently.
File a PP Claim & Receive a FULL REFUND Including shipping BOTH WAYS. It IS sellers Mistake.
