p.1 #1 · FS: WITHDRAWN - Nikon 85mm f/1.8 D AF

I bought a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 on eBay - here is the url of the auction page. They sent me a brand new Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D AF instead. It is brand new in box. I cannot use it since I don't have a Nikon body. I did open it up to check and it looks new, and comes in the original box, with hood, manual and the warranty card. It has 1-year USA warranty and a sticker on the outside of the box says "1 year warranty + 4 years extended service coverage". The warrany card says "1 year". So, I don't know what the extended service means in real-world terms.

UPDATE
Ok, this item is withdrawn. I called the store and someone answered almost immediately. In less than 5 mins, the rep told me that he was sorry about the mixup and that he'll send the Canon version by next day air, and will also include either a UV or a Polarizer filter (of course I opted for the polarizer ) to compensate for the inconvenience, as well as return shipping label for the Nikkor. I should've had more trust in the store - I thought they'd give me the run-around.

Well, hoping for the best tomorrow.

Why not send it back...?

Just for the purpose of the record, the 1+4 is Nikon's own method. If you register the lens after purchasing it, you get an extra 4 years of warranty.

I bought it off eBay and I just want to avoid having to call and email countless times to talk to someone there who can help me out. If the lens doesn't sell soon, then that's what I'm planning on doing.

Oh ... Well, thanks for the info.
