MG3 Complete Transponder Remote Key Fob

[2434markw]

I bought this key fob for my MG3 .I took it to the dealer for programming and the dealer said they cannot programme it as it is not compatible with MG cars.Previous reviews say that this fob won't work with MG3 cars yet this seller is still selling these, no wonder they have a No Returns Accepted clause in the listing.

No returns is for change of mind only

If the reviews said it does not work with your car, why did you buy it?

The seller is registered in China with garbage feedback and photos lifted from other websites

All the warning signs there not to buy from them but you made the choice to do so anyway

There is nothing stopping you opening a not as described dispute if what was in the listing is not what was sent 

You have been here 20 years, so no reason for you not to know the most basics of buying

Ebay will help if you force this issue.

If you have received an item that is not as described in the ad then you simply open an ebay claim for a faulty item or not as described.

You do not message ebay, you don't need to ask ebay reps a question, all you need to do is open a claim and you'll see the tab on the list of your purchases.

Once you do that, the seller cannot ignore it. Just keep your claim simple, item does not work for the car described in the ad, item is faulty or whatever.

The seller, by rights, has to pay return postage. You may hit a roadblock wityh that as an overseas seller cannot provide an auspost label, but if that is the case, you can appeal to ebay that it is not financially feasible to pay return postage and if ebay agrees, they may refund you anyway without returning it.

The seller may just refund without needing a return.

In any case, it is worth a try and worth opening a claim.

Springy, feedback left by that seller for the OP is over 6 months old, so presuming that's the keyfob, the OP is well past any dispute window in both eBay and Paypal and probably for any bank chargeback.

I could not see who they bought from as a mod has been in, but assumed it had to have been a recent purchase. It seems odd to leave it for 6 months before taking it in to be programmed but of course, after all that time, they would be out of luck with any chance of making a claim.

It was a dodgy seller registered in China with very poor photos, lifted from other websites

Lots of red x's saying they were dodgy as and selling rubbish

It’s a case of being fobbed off… Too little, too late.
