ebay does not have an option, they did not sovle the problem.

Question

I bought some flower seeds. they arrived. I read the directions. As it was to take 2 months before I knew if the seeds would germinate, the retrun period pased. After following the directions and waiting for another 30 days, I contacted the seller to tell them that the seeds were dead. Never got a response. I then wrote to ebay, but they dont have a catagory for this type of problem. Bummer. Its only $10.00 , but thats not the point,

ebay did not solve the problem

eBay is a good place to purchase items that can be evaluated fully within thirty days of receipt.

Not so much for items that take longer to evaluate (such as seeds, or automotive parts that need complicated installation and extensive use for that determination), or that require ongoing cooperation with a third party (such as accounts or subscription services). Those items may be difficult to get a refund for if problems only surface after thirty days has passed from receiving the item.

If you purchased using PayPal or a credit card, you may have some options for up to six months from the purchase date. Check with your payment source for details.

If you doubt your ability to fully evaluate an item within thirty days, consider purchasing from an authorized dealer on eBay to ensure you can make use of the manufacturer's warranty; consider purchasing a third-party warranty on eBay if available; or consider purchasing elsewhere.
