If you go to this site you will notice the kit should have come with two needles and two seats. In my book buying on eBay is a cap shoot, as you never know it you are getting what you expect.

Double ditto on what Rivets said
my 12 year old grandaughter can build an ebay shop in less than a hour that looks like a boni-fide shop.
There is no such thing as manifactured scrap in China.
Whatever comes off the production line goes to the purchaser.
What is defective ends up being sold on line.
I sell on line and made a mistake in the detailed description of what the parts fitted.
That same mistake showed up on at least a dozen other ebay pages in less than a month.
I only buy from manufacturers who brand their products and even then I have to check every part before it leaves the shop
Around 5% are wrong or defective so get binned or pulled apart for scrap.
OEM means it comes from the same factory. It does not mean it is a good part
Fits means it will go on. IT does not mean that the part actually works.
Then there is the problem that a lot of repair kits, are repair kits for the cheaper pattern part, not the original part.
This is most apparent with Tecumseh carb kits where all of the "rebuild kits" only fit the aftermarket carbs and will not work on the original carb.
On nearly all of the aftermarket carbs the float bowl is shallower so the float needle is shorter which means that most will not cut off the fuel completely when fitted to a genuine carb.
