Quite frankly, I think it is foolish to return the pictured A02, if you were wanting genuine Honda A02. The pic with Honda logo and Honda Genuine Parts written on seals the deal for me. I'm very confident this filter is as described, 99.9% positive. The only thing that would make it the other .1% would be a dissection. But in this case if I purchased this lot, that would be after I used one. I'm that confident.
I'd say this though, if you return them my suggestion would be not to buy any other filters off ebay because if you can't/don't trust this with the information provided here, you won't be able to trust any other.
Lucky that the seller is taking these back, but if I understand how ebay works it's likely simply because he wants to keep a 100% customer satisfaction rating.
So bottom line, if genuine Honda A02 is what you want(ed), I say use them. But....your call.
