Did i mess up?

Recently i got paypal working, So started selling some things on ebay.
 
I put up a "MSD Harness #88812" and someone bought it at at the buy it now option.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160323953594&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123

I'm now getting an e-mail saying that its not complete?

As far as i know and can tell, this part number only includes the 1 harness piece right?
Am i wrong?

The way some of the wording is on the product info, I can understand the confusion.  I THINK you have to purchase 2 for a dual DIS for these to work, but the wording isn't definite....It appears to be 2 separate harnesses according to the diagram....

I'm now waiting for them to accept my registeration at the MSD forums~

The little folded up instructions you see in the package in the pic, have that exact diagram printed on it.

Buyer says:
The "extra harness attachment" is only half of the driver's side coil pack to wiring harness, Wiring Harness. The package should have contained two (2) identical harness, w/exception to the colors of the wires. I did contact MSD just to be certain, before contacting you with this problem.

Looking more closely at the diagram... There does seem to be a color variance between the 2 main harness connectors that share the same part number, so its looking like i messed up... >.<

As soon as i confirm with MSD i need to figure out what to do.
