Not if the seller marks that they are not accepting returns. I thought they would of taken care of this but I had to go to PayPal to get something done.

I see a lot of this 'one strike and you're out' kind of post here lately. I understand folk's frustration with this kind of stuff. But this is another case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Not considering 440 Source or any other competitive supplier for future purchases does the buyer far more damage than it does the offending supplier. But if it makes you feel good, go ahead. And trying to rally others to that position will likely fall on deaf ears, too. Which is the only reason to post a bad experience.
We recently had a less than stellar experience with 440 Source, too. But to cut them off would cause us more problems than them. And would fix nothing.
Good luck to the OP with his other suppliers. If he takes this tact with all of them, he will run out of suppliers because no one is perfect. Especially today.

Sorry for you hastle with ebay and source, I hope its a bit of a misunderstanding and can be resolved properly. I cant see source jacking folks on purpose like that but the world is in a odd spot currently.
Ebay has really went down hill, I think its because of all the fraud in general or they just got greedy with the new managed payment system.
Ebay has fallen back to like it was a good bit ago where they collect there money instantly and then you fight like heck for any recourse to a bad deal.
Ive bought 5 things in the last month only had two completed, its like people are now using others money to float on then at some point you get your refund as they see fit and by how much.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Why on earth would you buy through Ebay when you know who the actual source is ?!?!? You've just added an unnecessary link in the chain. This was my immediate thought when I read the initial post. Why in the hell wouldn't you buy right from the seller and leave ebay out of it?

I wanted to explore what options are out there for the heater fittings and saw these brass ones. I ordered them and after the order I noticed it was 440source. I was not trying to be a penny pincher, I was wanting brass ones and paid more then the steel ones.

I am the most laid back customer on the planet. If you provide a service or product and have half good customer service skills, I am a fantastic customer to have with zero complaints. I bought a radiator and found one of the brackets bent and it was missing the petcock. I just fixed the bracket. I called the company and nicely asked if they would send me a petcock. They did and that in my mind was an awesome experience. You send me the wrong product, ignore my messages about the wrong product ,d do nothing about getting the correct product to the customer, then make it so it's not returnable...you don't deserve to be in business.

This is a rapidly changing retail environment. And not for the better in many cases.
We have been in business for nearly 40 years and find that we must frequently adjust our attitude on many things. Not happy about that. But that doesn't mean that anything goes, either. It's just that how much money are we willing to risk and how much more complicated are we willing to make our buying? We have had issues with most of our largest suppliers at one time or another and not all were resolved to our satisfaction. But we have to weigh the big picture. Some suppliers like RockAuto, 440 Source, Ebay, etc are not replaceable in our business and personal endeavors. Sometimes we just have to hold our nose and push ahead. We are particularly hesitant to use Ebay. They just suck. But to totally eliminate them would not be wise. We just shop hard to limit how much business we do with them and if it is a close call, they don't get the sale.
Maybe these decisions can be different in a hobby situation than a business situation. Maybe if you don't need a steady stream of parts, you can occasionally eliminate a major supplier. Maybe.

To send the wrong part and then hide behind a "no return policy" is total BS. Not only should they send the correct part but they should also pay the return shipping on the wrong part. That is how GOOD business is done. I don't care who they are.

Did you phone 440source?
I'd try calling and speaking with someone. No matter the size of an outfit, email communication can be hit or miss.

That is how GOOD business is done. I don't care who they are. I do not disagree with you at all. And I read a good number of posts on here from guys that feel the same way that you do. There are threads about Jegs, Summit, UPS, RockAuto, FedEx, Ebay, etc. Virtually every major supplier/shipper has had some mud thrown their way on this board. And much of it may have been rightly deserved. I just wish you guys luck discontinuing use of major suppliers over a single $20 issue. And as mentioned above, there are additional avenues to try. If $20 (or the principle of the matter) is more important than your time to chase it.

Easy to blow off this guy getting screwed like a tied goat when you don’t have skin in the game. This is business, not a charity. Do you shake down your customers and give them this line about needing you?
I want my fair share
