I got a bike light on ebay and after a few months the battery failed. Even though legally I have 1 year warranty I just can't be bothered arguing with a seller for days and then having to pay return shipping which is almost as much as the light is. I ended up getting a light at the store. Cost me a little bit more but the quality is soooo much better and the battery can be replaced rather than having a sealed plastic casing.
If I ever have a problem with this light its only a 3 minute ride back to the store to return it and I know they won't try and dispute it.
- smallnamespace 8y agoIt might be worth reaching out to Ebay and asking for a return—they have ridiculously consumer-friendly return policies, and even if the merchant doesn't want the return, Ebay can force it and hold it against their PayPal earnings.
- laumars 8y agoIndeed. This is part of the reason why stuff on eBay isn’t actually that cheap considering what many people expect
- kwhitefoot 8y agoYes, every time I have complained about something bought on Ebay it has been resolved in my favour.
