I relied upon a description from the seller and purchased an item based upon the part number. Despite the part number matching, the seller indicates that the part is not for my particular item. I shared the item number, factory manual, factory website lookup and illustrations to PROVE that the part number that they are offering is exactly what I need.
The seller has been paid but has gone silent.
Since sourcing the item through another source will cost more, does this situation represent breach of contract where the seller becomes legally responsible for the difference in cost by sourcing at another seller?
I do not know why a seller would refuse to ship other than if they really didn't have the item in stock and are making up a story to justify non-shipment, insisting that the part is not correct for my application.
