The seller has been forthcoming on the fact that the tag matches the radio internal info and normally I wouldn't require any photos. Even though the seller states "no returns", the ebay Money Back Guarantee always sides with the buyer.... if you don't get what was stated in the listing, you get your money back. Full stop.
However, if what the seller states is true, then this radio was upgraded from an APX7000 M3.5 to an APX7000XE M3.5 and that introduces a whole new level of gotchas to look out for depending on who did that hardware upgrade to install the XE control top. A bona-fide XE should have H49 as the model number on the tag. So yes, ask for clear legible photos of the tag to ensure its a factory tag and not a forgery.
And as com501 stated, ask for a screen grab of the ENTIRE expanded "Radio Information" screen in CPS.
