Seller warranty
Seller offers a 1 year warranty and upon contacting them I was told because it's over 30 days since purchase that nothing can be done. What's the purpose of the warranty when they deny and refuse to do anything?

The 30 days refers to Ebay's 30 day Money Back Guarantee.
Who exactly issued the "warranty" on the item you purchased? Were you provided with any details when you bought it regarding how to file a claim under the so-called warranty?
Only the original buyer of the item has access to the warranty.
Unless the item purchased is brand new, never owned … as in from a dealer licensed to sell the product … it should be assumed there are no warranties on eBay products.
Almost all items sold on eBay have no warranty. Only items sold by factory dealers are covered. Items sold by others are second hand sales and are often not covered even if the item was never used. The buyer would have to purchase a third party warranty.
Is there a manufacturer issued warranty on the item? If so, you could try to contact them, but most manufacturers will not honor the warranty if the item is purchased on Ebay, since the Ebay buyer is not the original person who purchased the item.

Please give the listing number or a link to the listing so that we can review what the seller said in the listing about the Warranty.

Thank you for providing the link to the listing page.
The ONLY detail about a 1yr. warranty is just in the corner of the photo of the item, no other information about a warranty. Unfortunately, you are out of luck trying to get the seller to cooperate. If it has been less than 6 months, you could try to file a dispute through Paypal or your credit card company.
Also, the seller has a lot of negative feedback.

Mentor3 years agoIt appears that the seller is not dealing upfront as they should on this site. They don't say anywhere what the warranty covers or even how long the warranty is good for, IF there really is one.
I'm not sure how much time you really want to spend on this since the item was less than $1.50. Which is likely what the seller counts on.
I would however encourage you to report the seller for misleading listing practices by illuding to a warranty being in place when one doesn't exist or they don't share the details at all.
