If the seller knew they were selling a different axle than advertised, as opposed to simple mistake, yes, that would be fraud. In either event, you are certainly within your right to demand a refund.

If the seller does not agree, your only viable option is a lawsuit which, if the claim is $12,000.00 or less, may be brought in your local district justice. If the seller is a business, you also have a claim under the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law.

I trust this has been helpful, but feel free to call or email me on a free initial basis.
