FYI, I explained the situation to the seller on EBay, groberts1. He said "no problem", and immediately refunded my money. He is now on my EBay "watch this seller" list, and I'm going to make an effort to buy from him in the future. The search goes on for a narrow bit.
I would get a saw and get after it.
