Default Are these axles the same?

So I ordered new axles a month ago from an eBay seller who actually has a major website as well and they drop shipped from the manufacturer. I will withhold their names unless they don't give me my refund This last weekend, my mechanic Dave and I attempted to install them. We attempted to install the driver's side first. Even fully compressed, there seemed no way it was going in. We ended up putting my old one back in.

I researched and found that we do have different length axles and that the driver's side is shorter than the right one. So now I am just wanting to return them and have Dave order me some. I contacted the manufactureer who told me to call the seller. I contacted the seller and they said the manufacturer wanted some pictures. So Dave graciously took a few pictures and sent them to me. NOW the manufacturer is saying they want a picture of them standing side by side and compressed to see if there is an issue. Dave and I looked at them and they look exactly the same length. If they try giving me sh*t I am just filing a Ebay/Paypal/credit card dispute and using these axles as paperweights if I need to.

What do you guys think?

Those are close enough to the same.

Left to right axles are more than 1" almost 2" different iirc. Highly noticable.

Return the one where the cup looks to be rewelded using parts of some to make something good.

They look exactly the same length to me

I don't even want to just return one now, I just want to return both. These have no warranty and Dave said he could get me ones that have a lifetime warranty that should be just as good if not better. I don't want to have to pay anything for a mistake they made.
