how to do cancel a purchase on ebay?

I thought that Geddy Lee basses are all along supposed to be 70's spacing?
Not sure and you may be right as I didn't even know they made them in Mexico now . I have had some Mexican instruments and they definitely do things differently but not sure if it pertains to the spacing , it all comes down to production costs so they may just use the standard Mexican rout and call it a Geddy Lee, but I really can't be sure so don't quote me...I think you can check it when you get the body and return it ...their policy clearly states refunds but buyer pays shipping. I would assume that mean's BOTH directions and that part of it kinda sucks

.. the GL production was moved from MIJ to MIM in July of 2012 .. no changes were made in the 70's pup spacing ... in fact the move facilitated Fender using the same bodies for both the GL and Classic Series 70's Jazz .. so if the body you purchased is not 70's pup spacing, it is NOT a GL ...

All the specs from the MIJ Geddys are the same as the new MIM Geddys?

One SMALL Difference between the MIJ and MIM GLs is that the MIJ has one screwhole in the middle of the pickguard, whereas the MIM Does not. Guess it's a Japanese thing? And recently they changed the bridge to Fender's own version of the BAII. It doesn't say Badass Bass II on it anymore, but just Geddy's awesome signature stamped on. Same bridge, different look. Same function; I think it looks better than the BAII.

After buying this, I realised that it's not an actual Geddy Lee body model as the pickup spacing is wrong. I already made the payment, how do I cancel it? It's already been 7 hours since the purchase and I'm afraid they have already shipped it out as there is no reply from them.

The sunburst colour doesn't look like the one on the Geddy Lee model. The GL is 3TS; that looks like a 2TS.

.. the specs that matter remained the same ... going from the 11 hole p/g to the 10 hole I would assume simply makes things easier seeing the Classic Series 70's Jazz and the Geddy now share the same body blank ... BTW, for OP, I see that there is a sticker in the bridge pup route on the body in question .. obviously cant read it, but the part # for 3TSB Geddy (and Classic 70's J) would be #0075081700 ... just an FYI for his correspondence with Stratosphere ... which, by the way, has a loaded Classic Series 70's Jazz body listed, and it too looks more like a 2TB than a 3TSB, but since both bodys are only available in black and 3TSB, it must just be the 'shading' of the paint run ...
