12 month warranty by sellers on ebay not worth a thing

[paypal_no_thanks]

I brought a pressure washer on ebay back in September only tried it out a couple of times then it just stopped working, contacted the seller and they said send us a video, i said i can not do that on ebay and so send me a email address and i will do so, they said we can not send email address and i have never heard back from them since even after many messages to say how do we sort this out, but never hear back from them, they have my money and clearly do not want to follow up on there 12 month warranty..

You are spot on

Warranties 'on eBay' mean nothing. Just words in the listing

IF the seller was an authorised re-seller of the item and registered in Australia , there would have been no issue

'Average Joe' sellers cannot really offer a warranty

No they are not UNLESS the seller is an Australian authorised seller/reseller of the product.

Sellers are allowed by eBay to advise that a warranty is applicable, but in the vast majority of cases they aren't.

They are very useless and so is the ebay management. I bought a TV remote with a "Lifetime warranty" and it has failed after 5 weeks.

How can you possibly call this a solution???

Yhe seller I bought from was a "top rated seller" sold 26k items with 100% feedback from 6000 + sales. They suddenly have 0 items for sale, won't respond to my messages and the item number for the remote is now invalid so yes ebay warranty is a load of bull**bleep**.

fishaman... There are NO eBay warranties.

@fishaman Ask the person who marked the solution. Then learn how eBay works. There is no such thing as an eBay warranty and they have not advertised otherwise. The MBG is NOT a warranty which ebay do not and have never offered. Don't buy from unauthorised sellers and then expect any warranty
