Warranty on a new item sold on eBay
Summary: fck024 bought an item on eBay that turned out to be a clone. After four months, the product no longer works, and the seller is on vacation, which leads fck024 to ask for advice on possible remedies. koalagris explains that the deadline for a non-conformity dispute on eBay is 30 days, suggesting contacting the seller about the warranty or checking with the payment provider for other options.
Hello,
I'm turning to the community to get an answer:
At the beginning of May I bought this item https://www.ebay.fr/itm/405821523724 for €122 (tax and shipping included).
When I received it (within the expected time) I realized it was a clone from a Chinese site (well known) but I kept it because I absolutely needed it.
The seller was responsive during our exchanges.
4 months after the purchase, bad luck, it no longer works and the seller tells me he is on vacation.
What recourse do I have?
Best regards
Franck

No recourse on ebay: the dispute period for non-compliance is 30 days from the delivery date.
So it's up to the seller to handle the warranty (if it's a pro seller); otherwise, see with your payment provider whether there is any recourse through them.
Best regards
