Default Stuck with wrong new clock spring.

A short time ago i ordered a spiral cable from ebay but ordered the one. 01-03 LS instead of the correct one for my car, 05. I've tried returning it thru eBay but missed the deadline for returns. On top of that, the orignal seller, GenuinePartsPlanet will not return my emails regarding a swap so now im stuck with a brand new part and out of $265 buck! Most of this situation is my fault so i can only blame myself. Lesson learned: pay attention.

PS, if anyone wants to take this part off my hands, PM an offer. I've posted this FS in the classifieds.
Pic below shows the new one on the left in my hand.

Hey where did you end up buying your clock spring? I bought one off of ebay for $20 and they sent the wrong one. They sent a replacement one and it was the wrong one too. the shaft opening was too small This is the one they sent
This is the one off of my car. The dealer told me my part number should be 84306-50180

I have never heard the term clock spring before, but it makes sense, how would all the electrical things inside the wheel be able to turn.....small consolation for getting the wrong part, but at least I learned something new Silver Surfer!
