I purchased a Flip Phone on Afterpay. I found out its 2G.2G was disbanded in 2017.
So after finding out this Marvellous Flip Phone for Elders is a 2G I cancelled the Afterpay and informed the Seller that I don't want it as its of No-Use to anyone . Its 2G which has been Obsolete since 2017 at least. They should'nt be selling this stuff in Australia. The Seller got back to me asking me to keep it and I'll get a 5% Refund. No I'm Not Takeing it and Will Return it. I should have been more Careful But Most of me e-bay experiences have been Honest and Successful. I would'nt even Dream of anyone selling a 2G Mobile phone. Now I'll have to Repair the Recharge Socket on my old Telstra Flip Phone. What are your Thoughts about this?

OP3 years agoWell Yes I've got some Satisfaction with the Help from Akash whose an "e-bay" Helper Worker. He advised that the Seller is in the Wrong because they had'nt advertized the Seniors Flip Phone ad a "2G". He advised me specifically Not to Return it But to keep it But don't Open it. Take a Photo of the Parcel getting the Numbers and Bar Code. I have to Follow up with a Process and send it back to the Seller with the Seller paying for the postage. So I'm confident I won't end up wasteing $Money on a Dead Elephant! Good Work Akash and e-bay. Mark.

·3 years agoIf it is the pretty blue one, sold for parts or repair, and listed as vintage 2003, with 2G clearly indicated in the item specifics. Then you are screwed.
It even states it can not be used to make or receive calls in Australia.
If I am not looking at the correct item, please advise item number.

·3 years agoWhat did the item description say?
If it does not match what was sent to you, open a dispute
If it stated what it was in the listing, not much you can do
You can't just do your own thing and return it to get your money back
You need to go through the proper process
IF the listing did not state what is was you were buying
What you do with your old phone does not interest eBay and does not count towards a dispute, nor do personal opinions
What matters, as far as eBay is concerned, did you get what the item description said?

·3 years agoMy thoughts are that I do my due diligence before buying.
I know zero about After Pay.
Do you know how to return this item?
Or will you stumble on without researching the correct process?
