All I asked was ----you need more than 30 days to see if it worked?
First, I know that eBay's protection is for 30 days and I wouldn't expect to be covered after eBay protection has expired, so yes, if my item or DVD player quit working after 30 days I'd be disappointed. I wouldn't get mad at eBay though.
But if it happened I'd open a case on PayPal where buyer protection is for 180 days, or I would call Square Trade if I purchased a warranty. I know the seller's warranty in the listing isn't enforceable. Manufacturers don't warranty eBay items unless the seller is a direct distributor of theirs. Or I might file a chargeback with my credit card.
Some old timers might remember this, I talked about it many years ago. In 1983 I bought a $3,000 rare parrot and the pet shop offered a 30 day warranty. The bird was so tame and sweet. I was concerned though because the bird droppings were yellow and white with mucous and my other different species parrot had green and white no mucous droppings. I called the pet store with my concern and they said not to worry, she's fine. Vet checked, they said.
On day 31 the bird died. I paid cash and was SOL.
I had a necropsy done and the results were the bird died of long standing liver disease due to antibiotic overdosing. And the main symptom was yellow mucousy droppings. Turns out the bird was not tame, just too sick to do anything like screech or climb around the cage. I thought the bird was sweet and docile because of that was her personality.
Moving along here, I lost the court case even though the necropsy report showed they sold me a sick bird. The judge said I had 30 days to take her to a vet to get checked. I told them the pet store assured me all their birds they sold were healthy and vet checked and not to worry about the droppings being yellow. It didn't matter because the judge said my bird was out of warranty when she died. Case closed. I was duped. The pet store knew the bird was sick but their defense was since I thought the bird's droppings were yellow and mucous and it concerned me I should have taken her to the vet instead of calling the pet store.
Losing $3k in 1983 is like losing $9k today. Hindsight I should've taken the bird to a vet instead of relying on the pet store telling me that. Heck, I thought if you're in the bird business then you must have knowledge about birds. Dummy me. What's bad is I bought this bird to replace a bird I paid $2,700 for that was stolen in a break-in. And I didn't learn because I got another smaller parrot a few years later. He's still alive and thriving and has a huge vocabulary. He's 38 years old and will probably outlive me! I'm still looking for a Hyacinth Macaw!
BOTTOM LINE- Don't trust the seller saying it works. Get it checked out before 30 days. Purchase a warranty if you can't check it out because seller warranties might be no good.
