Anyone still selling on ebay during lockdown?

WD and Seagate warranties must be amazing. There can't be many manufacturers who would cover courier damage following eBay sales.

Right - because I call up WD and I say "Yer, I was shipping your HD out and when it reached its destination it was no longer working - so if you wouldn't mind replacing it please....."
I raised an online RMA, filled in the fault - that the drive was clicking when powered up and Windows couldn't see it. RMA issued, drive returned, 3 days later I had a replacement.

I'll do the same with the Firecuda - raise an RMA, tell them the fault and return it.
If they have the time to plug it in, interrogate shock sensors they may well get in contact and tell me it won't be replaced under warranty. However, I expect it'll be "binned" and a refurbished one will be sent out to me.
 
Just checked my eBay activity and I shipped 2 items out on lockdown day (23rd March) and made 17 purchases since. From both business and indie sellers. Just make sure you check the seller's location because if it's China, the ETA will be several weeks atm. Some sellers say that they're UK-based, but after a bit of digging on their profile, it says otherwise which is a bit naughty imo.

Off course that's what you did but you shouldn't be claiming warranty replacements for items damaged in transit.

You should be shipping your items with adequate insurance and claiming from the courier.
 
My RM post usually always turns up 100% of the time until recently, had 2 small eBay purchases that were sent by RM not turn up. I don't doubt the sellers as they had full feedback and refunded/sent replacement promptly. I think with this lockdown there are more tea leafs coming out the woodwork at RM. Just my opinion.
 
I need to sell my PC. Possibly as parts, possibly as a whole.

Damn. If only I could reach 1,000 posts on here. The members market beckons?

Eleventy years and I still can't join in!
