I’ve bought a camera new off ebay via a “shop” there that has a 14 day returns policy.
On the first use of the item it appeared to be faulty as although the pictures save ok, the video is almost always corrupt (about 90% of the time), and the support contact for the manufacturer has suggested trying a new memory card. (The one that was sent “free” is clearly a fake!) My new card has arrived today so I’ll be able to test it tonight.
I’m going away on my hols (which is why I bought the camera) tomorrow, and I’ve notified the bloke that the camera appears to be dodgy, and that I’m going to try a new memory card, but I won’t be able to return it in the 14 day period.
I’ve paid by credit card through paypal and am away for the next 10 days, and that will be exactly 16 days since I received the item. If it does turn out to be dodgy, and the bloke decides to be difficult, am I covered in some way?
Thanks
