Seller actually purchased the drives as SATA drives on ebay and sold them as SAS to us. Here's a picture of the ebay auction he bought.

When we notified the seller we got IBM drives instead of HP drives, seller replied:
"HP doesn't make hard drives. Those are the original drives from an HP DL380 server. HP sometimes puts their sticker over the IBM stickers on the drives and gives them a different part number than IBM uses. They are the exact same drives. I never noticed if they had an HP sticker on them, but the 2 part numbers cross-reference to the same exact part. "
When we told him that IBM does not make drives for HP, he tried to get away with ebay return policy:
"
Those are the drives that came from HP. I listed 300gb sas drives and that's what you got. You cannot return them. They are exactly what the listing stated. I never said they had HP stickers.
The listing was also "as-is" "no returns"

It seems that we are seeing more of fraud activity. Apparently people are useing ebays policies to their advantage. Its easy to buy an item.......swap it....and cry foul. You could file a police report just to start a paper trail but I dont know how far it could go but its a start. But don't expect much from ebay.
