Ebuyer - wtf?
Returned a new graphic card to ebuyer yesterday. The bracket was bent so
the card could not be installed. Today they tell me that the fault can not be replicated and they're returning the card (naturally I've already ordered another elsewhere.) What's going on? Am I too cynical thinking that they merely bent the bracket and sent it back? -- Derek |

They may have fitted a replacement bracket or may have straightened the original. In either event, it is quite possibly a successful repair and the card is now fully functional. You can presumably cancel the duplicate order, or return it under DSR. Of course, if the first card is still faulty, you can return it to ebuyer for repair/replacement/refund, once more. -- Sue |

Quite possibly, though repairing it ain't the same thing as not being able to replicate the fault. You can presumably cancel the duplicate order, or return it under DSR. Think I'll leave that order until I find out if the first card's good. Of course, if the first card is still faulty, you can return it to ebuyer for repair/replacement/refund, once more.

Quite possibly, though repairing it ain't the same thing as not being able to replicate the fault. "Straightened out the bracket" possibly isn't on their list of actions.. The company may insist that they choose from a fixed list, or the system may not allow anything else, and the individual chose one that he thought would do.. |

Doubt it's worth the bother. Most of the time (IMHO) a repair (or a replacement) is just fine. I just don't think anyone should forget that it's the customer's choice to make, not the vendor's. When we accept a repair, we're doing them a favour. |

Most online resellers prefer to refund as repairs or replacements cost more in postage |

Most online resellers prefer to refund as repairs or replacements cost more in postage I'm sure that's true. In this case, though, Ebuyer seem to be claiming that the card wasn't faulty (IIUC). In that case I suspect they'll try and charge for the postage. |
