Ordered this cap for a fan and after receiving it I notice that it has no marking of the voltage.
I searched “CBB61” and see them in various voltages.
Would you trust this one to be 250v, as the eBay listing says, or return it and find one with V marking?
Thanks.

Where did you order it from? What kind of capacitor is it? What is the purpose in the fan? Is it a run capacitor for a PSC motor, a start capacitor for a capacitor start motor or a noise suppression capacitor?

google image search suggest it's some sort of 450V motor cap

This is to my point exactly. It’s advertised (in the title of the ePay page) as a 250v cap. No voltage markings on the cap.

What would you do with this cap?

The image in the eBay listing definitely shows 250 V on the capacitors, but they probably took the image from a datasheet rather than photographing the object (without voltage markings) that they sent you.
You should have a case for a refund, should you want to pursue it.

I'd just use it, if it fails then buy a better one next time. The listing says 250V, it looks about the right size to be a 250V cap, I would assume that's what it is.
