S3 markings, that's the roulette part. Most users order the same thing on Ebay and get the A3 S-tronic version.

Default Yup

I emphasized repeatedly that I wanted non-perforated, since that seemed to be the mix-up with most of the other people that ordered - so I was psyched when I first opened this and saw the solid leather, and then not-so-psyched when I saw the S3 logo - real emotional roller coaster . . .

Anyway, he's going to replace it no problem, so it's no biggie other than the additional wait - in fact the "what shift **** will I actually get" game is kinda funny, really . . .

Open a dispute thing with eBay and call Paypal to reverse the charges. I've done it before, it works.
