Item arrived - but doesn't match description

Options
Hi all

Just wondering where I stand on regards to an item I bought via the eBay Argos shop (a buy it now type purchase) and the item does not match the description.

The item as described when I clicked on the buy it now option is NOT the product I received today. I received some in-ear headphones but was expecting some on-ear headphones. The model number as per my confirmation email etc do not match the item I received.

I now see that the item on the website has now been priced at £80 pounds more than when I clicked on the buy it now yesterday - so perhaps they have corrected something there.

Wondering if I could reasonably expect Argos to honour the price I paid and replace the in-ear headphones with the ones I thought I was actually buying?

Any thoughts / advice much appreciated !

    Fat and chance spring to mind, but why not ask!?

    They need to refund in full and pay for return postage though...

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Good luck getting a reply from Argos.

    You have 30 days from delivery to open a case on eBay for SNAD (significantly not as described). Argos will be told to supply you a prepaid label to return the item for a full refund.

    They made a mistake and will refund when you return the item (at their cost)
    It's hardly reasonable to expect an £80 discount.
