Phone with dealer warranty from Ebay

hari1

In the zone
I am currently in need of a smartphone. I am getting a xperia neo v from ebay for Rs. 11750 after applying coupon. The seller has very good feedback. I have never purchased any phone earlier from ebay. The seller is giving dealer warranty, not manufacturer warranty. Should I buy it?
Thr link to it is Sony Ericsson Xperia NEO V Mobile Phone Brand New With Warranty | eBay
Anyone please give your experience with buying phone with dealer warranty. I will keep this phone only for about 2-3 months and then change with a new phone.
Do any problems arise with phones with seller warranty ? I don't want any problems with the phone and it should work properly. The phone is imported. Will I be able to get ICS update on it in India?

Also the people who have buyed this phone or any other sony phone with dealer warranty can plz tell me what things they ship with phone ?? how is the packaging ??
if they provide any type of bill or any paper that show proof of purchase ??
if any one has den can u plz upload a scan copy here by hiding ur private information so that i can get ida how it looks like with also pictures of box , accessories and phone..

thx...

with Dealer warranty no.. but if you would sell it after 2-3 months then may be you can take chance but be clear you might not get the price as if it is 2-3 months old. you will get price of 1 year old means after warranty is over

AFAIK you will give your feedback immediately after you receive your product or after 2-3 days.. then if something happens after 2-3 months and seller does not honor his agreement then what you can do.. even nokia, samusng and companies are well known and reputed but we still ask for bill.. but at last it's your decision..

Dealer's warranty means grey market goods, you will have to ship the product to the seller if there are any problems, when you're spending 10K+ wouldn't it be better to spend a little more for the ASS? Final decision is yours.

eBay gives one month eBay guarantee. Please note the seller would be bound to honor his warranty only for one month, which starts from day of ordering. Add another 7 days by the time u get the phone, u get only 24 days eBay guarantee to file claim.

As per my experience, no seller honours warranty after eBay guarantee period. They either avoid u or will ask u to send the product to their office at ur cost and then claim user negligence and charge exorbitant amount for repairs.

Go ahead buy it. Generally these items don't give out any major problems whatsoever. I used E72 (dealer warranty) without any hiccups for 3 long years and got it under a real deal 10K then back in 2009! Yeah in case it happens to screw you on front, then as per you, you know rooting, flashing and modding...well then what's stopping you? :)

the seller sankyoelectronics got really bad reviews and he has about 16 negative feedback.. he shipped xperia mini oro to one buyer in bad condtion i.e. box not sealed as mentioned , handmarkd on fone and battery..

but it is powerseller and had only 1 negative feedback and all others gud..

Let me tell you one thing!
What makes a product genuine...invoice? Lose it, and even the S3 will turn into grey!
Most of the mobile service centers upload serviced cellphones' details for the day usually in the end or on next day early. they don't have the time of haggling with every customer for warranty claims in case international buy. Grab a phone, get a fake bill made for it mentioning rational price according to market within fair time limit, chances that your phone will get serviced in case of any mishappenings are 90%. Heck, even guys with genuine bills are denied warranty for silly reasons you can still buzz off! Average persons can't differentiate merely by looking at phone specs and tell whether its grey product or not. another of my W995 I kept getting it repaired fixed, for almost 1.5 years after the purchase from official SE service center, yeah one day a person noticed the glitch and since then I never went there. I carried a whole 10 months warranty on accessories, got replaced HPM 70 2 times! ;)
these international telecom companies already witness bluemoons here in terms of sales, and they do employ unscrupulous terms for tax avoiding, money laundering by filling in the fat pockets of the authorities. you deserve a better matter for apprehension, go ahead screw them nice!

I brought a SE Xperia Arc S from ebay last week with one year dealers warranty.

The packaging was excellent, with all the accessories.

He did provide me with a bill, I dont know if its really valid or not lol. The fact is, I dont care about warranty these days. I have used many cellphones from different company's in the past 5 yrs or so and never faced any problems. The only problem I faced was with my BB's display. I dropped it and the display went for a toss. Its just 6 months old and still in warranty period but I cannot avail warranty as I dropped the phone down. So, it was kinda useless that I was having warranty. I have to shell out 6k rs to get it repaired.

So, in short, if you dont care much about warranty, then go ahead and buy it and save a few bucks. Most likely, you wont face any problem with the first one year, so you would be fine.

I cannot really comment on whether the seller will keep his deal with the warranty or not. But yes, if you have to avail warranty then you will definitely have to courier it to the seller at your own expenses.

Good Luck !
