Computer items for sale for parts or not working.

  • I am a computer technician who unashamedly purchases faulty devices (usually Apple devices) for repair and resale for a minimal profit (I do it as a hobby).

 

I've recently been burned by a number of sellers who:

 

1. List the item using a generic picture and minimal details. When the auction is complete they will write to you advising that the description "may not be correct" and asking if I still want the item (2 x instances).

 

If you agree to proceed you find that the damage is considerably worse than described and the device is useless for parts or anything else.

 

2. List the items for parts or not working but fail to mention in their listing that the electronic device has been subjected to a water / wine / coffee spill. Of course after recieving the item and contacting the seller they either state that they didn't know about the spill or that the items was sold for parts (when obviously the parts are going to be fairly useless).

 

As far as I'm concerned, if the seller fails to note that the item is damaged and that damage is not disclosed in the listing, it is "not as described" and its reasonable to expect that it can be returned under the EBay money back guarantee.

 

Could I get the forums comments please?

Re: Computer items for sale for parts or not working.

This has nothing to do with the topic you posted on from 2015

 

You have not bought an iPhone off other members here on the forum and we cannot get the seller to unlock it for you

 

You will need to contact them via eBay messages

 

Did the listing say it was suppose to be unlocked? 

 

The only feedback you have is from a seller in the USA, is that the phone ?
