Does anyone know if my iPhone warranted or not?

So i bought an iphone 7 plus. When item arrived, i noticed that it doesn't come with a warranty paper that you usually see. I contacted seller and was advised that i only need the IMEI number to get covered but i'm not sure about that. I haven't left feedback for him and paypal dispute still in effect. Can someone confirm this please? Thank you very much

Oh my sainted Camembert,

Is that like Holy Brie ?

 

OP, the seller has oz in his ID.

My experience has shown me that sellers with Oz or Au in their name are usually Asian sellers getting cheap stock O.S.

Personally I would do a quick check with Apple to see if it's a Genuine Apple and if Apple here say anything negative, open an eBay case for a return n refund.

Then go into a proper store to get a proper phone with a proper warranty.

95.9% - poor feedback for a high-volume seller. (I won't buy from high-volume sellers with fewer than 99.6% positive feedback as a general rule.)

 

An example of two negative feedback comments:

 

Negative feedback ratingOpenly lying about products in Aus. Sends from China, dont trust.Communication 0           Buyer: a***s ( 5 ) During past 6 months

(NEW SEALED BOX) NOKIA LUMIA 1020 4G LTE UNLOCKED WINDOWS PHONE 12MTH OZ WTY (#371913580824) AU $279.00  

Negative feedback ratingDO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. THE PHONE WAS A USED PHONE AD SAID BRAND NEW.           Buyer: z***z ( 256Teal star icon for feedback score in between 100 to 499) During past 6 months

(NEW SEALED BOX) LG V20 4G LTE 64GB 4GB RAM UNLOCKED PHONE + 12MTH AUS WTY (#372022346864) AU $389.90  

 

 

 

But even worse, the seller's recent replies to disgruntled customers:

 

Negative feedback ratingNot happy           Buyer:k***h ( 8 ) During past month

    AVOID THIS DISGRACED BUYER. You cracked the phone and want to get refund ???

 

Well... I wouldn't want to be a "disgraced buyer"... I just wouldn't be able to step out of doors for fear of the murmurs of "Shame! Shame!"

 

As a general rule, to avoid trouble and fakes and warranties that are good only for wound-staunching or on the toilet roll holder, don't buy smart phones on eBay. These are best purchased from Apple, Samsung, or through authorised resellers such as Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Kogan, or through your phone provider (Telstra, Optus, etc).

So you wouldn't buy from me? Assuming I had something you wanted?

Your name doesn't scream Asian like Ozdeals, Ozbargains etc.

And you don't sell the obvious electronics, gadgets n so forth often traded by unscrupulous Asian sellers.

So I wouldn't think you were an Asian account but I may consider you being part of those big book sellers and having Oz in the name to distinguish from all your other 20 accounts in different countries.

I would want to see that you are a smaller business, perhaps the guy working from home and Aus owned.

Then I'd gladly support you. (But I'd buy from you cause I know you. In fact I have often searched your accounts first when looking for a book) Smiley Wink
