Amazon has something of a monopoly on trust in 3rd party sales. Lots of experience gives me great confidence in sellers with a 96% or greater rating, and willingness to pay more. Whereas my father and I have found in an iPhone purchase (an old, but still well over $100 model) that eBay can be trivially played to completely screw over the buyer.
For that matter, Amazon has a 5 refunds per lifetime policy last time I checked; that limits it to really big ticket items, but without that there are a number I wouldn't buy through them.
- mleonhard 12y agoThis is the first I've heard of a limit on refunds. Can you point me to more information?
- hga 12y agoI think it's their "A-to-z Guarantee Protection", and I now note no lifetime limit ... and claims can be denied for other than clear cut legit reasons (a catch-all "Amazon regarded the claim as inappropriate." see https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200783790 https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...). Also a $2,500 limit. Note this is the last ditch, the seller isn't playing ball resort.
