Return/money back policy if you organise your own courier

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

I have recently decided to purchase an old computer for my collection. The seller claims he has packed the item well. We have both agreed that I would organise the courier (E-Go) from my end, interstate, with the pickup location from his work to the depot on my side. I have mentioned the details to him and he has agreed. I have some cofidence that he did a good job with packing, however, say an item arrives damaged, am I still covered under the eBay return policy?

My perspective is that regardless of him not personally organising the courier, they still agreed and therefore it is still their responsibility to ensure the item arrives undamaged. Is this correct or have I missed something here? Do I still have the same choice of recourse should the items arrive damaged due to their packaging?
