Hi @75harley If you bought the item but haven't paid yet, the seller isn't required to cancel the order for you. If you don't pay in 4 days, an unpaid item will go on your buying record. Most sellers block buyers who've had 2 or more unpaid items in a year.

What does this seller's return policy say?

My advice is to not pay and avoid the hassle of returning the filters for a refund. 1 unpaid item on your record won't affect your ability to buy on eBay, and it will fall off in 12 months.
