Do people realise that manufacturer warranties for second hand goods bought on ebay are useless? - Colin - 05-08-2014 02:29 PM
Every time I've ever had an issue with a product and need to return it to the manufacturer they always ask for proof of purchase. If that proof of purchase isn't from a bone-fide seller relating to new products the warranty is invalid. In other words, if you buy something second-hand, even if it is new or new other, you have no cover at all.
Just thought I'd let you guys know. Any thoughts?

Of course if you buy it second hand the warranty is unless you're meant to return it to the seller who sold you it on ebay! the warranty is only meant for new brand stuff
IF you brought it new and you fill out the warranty card or paper then the manufacturer has to send you another one you should have 3 years on the warranty

If you buy something second hand, but still within the original warranty period, ask the seller fr the receipt and warranty card is included. If not, keep looking.
