So i purchased a Steering wheel from a 89 Prelude thru an online vendor, he was asking a price and i made him an offer, which he accepted. Today the wheel comes in and as i pulled it out of the box i realized that he removed the center cover which is the horn, and did not include it in the box. I just sent him an email politely asking if this is a normal practice as i know that only SRS bags are removed to be sold separately, wheel is nice shape for the year just dirty as hell but i will hold off wiping it down until this is resolved in some type of way. His post did not specify that the center cover was sold separate so we will see what happens from here

it sounds like the seller is selling the "steering wheel" which TECHNICALLY does not need to include any of the accessories... like airbag... cruise control buttons... emblems... like, technically he sent you the steering wheel. It sounds like he included a very misleading picture (the wheel still installed) - which could have let you assume that other things within the picture are also included in the purchase. This is why official marketing pictures usually include the fine print, "airbag and other dashboard accessories not included" and crap. I wonder what ebay's policy regarding misleading images is.
If the seller was smart, he would just accept a return, and re-sell the item again with a more accurate description this time. Perhaps pushing ebay support could get them to encourage the seller to do this for you. Did the original listing say "no returns" ?

I'd say that if the item pictured featured the center cover (with or without airbag), then it is a reasonable expectation that it would be included with the wheel. It's like selling a set of wheels with centercaps pictured, not specifying that the centercaps are not included, and sending the wheels sans caps. If you disputed it, I'd imagine eBay would rule in your favor. I would take a screenshot of the listing before it gets altered or removed, though... just to have a record of it.
In the worst case, you could probably find the center cover fairly cheap if you look around a bit. Might even be able to dig one up at a junkyard, or car-part.com.

I wish the dude that just sold me a Nest Protect (smoke/CO alarm) would do the same. It's missing two necessary proprietary screws, and I can't use it without them. He's blowing me off, and Nest just sent me the wrong parts (they were so eager to help that they didn't bother to understand what it was that I was asking for.)
