Hi
I bought a macbook charger from ebay for $28 2 months ago. It worked fine but after a month it is dead and the seller refuse to reply to all my request to replace the charger. In total i probably use it to charge no longer than 1 week time
Is there anything I can do to get a replacement?
Thanks for your time

I did and still waiting for a response. But the options come up was either the package did not arrive or the item is a wrong description which in my case neither of those. It is as described and it arrived, but just happened to be a shit product
it is a wrong description as the sell description as in working order
Note that OP will have to return the fake charger to China which will cost a bit. Might be best to negotiate with the seller for straight refund (partial refund).
Then go to Apple store…
@thatonethere: if he paid by paypal he should be able to get the return amount back or ebay should ask the seller to pay for the return postage if the seller accept the request.
@TheCutter: May be new to you for paypal covering return shipping? https://www.google.com/search?q=paypal+return+shipping&oq=pa…
Simple google search can help
Assuming it is new. If its used, then unless a warranty was provided you're just out of luck, since you admit it was working at the time of sale.
Is there anything I can do to get a replacement?
Yes there is. Buy another charger from ebay.
Genuine Charger?
for $28.20?
Tell Him He's Dreamin'
No its not genuine
ive bought a few non-genuine chargers for my macbook pro. they have all stopped working after a few weeks.
only genuine now. my current one has been going fine for the last 12 months.
i got it from a seller on ebay that was selling ex-office chargers
also, the non-genuine dont have proper voltage regulation.
The chargers retail for $130 or so. You bought one for $100 less? Who was the seller? On what grounds did they refuse a replacement?
Also anything for $100 less is going to be crap. You are much better off buying a real one. As expensive as they are they will at least work
Its a generic chinese one. I understand it wont be as good but dead in one week is unacceptable imho
You just said you had it for 1 month before it died.
I did but during that time it is just sitting unused. The total time i have used to actually charge is no longer than one week
PayPal.
It’s all sorted through paypal. Send the good back, get a refund and claim the shipping cost back. In the mean time managed to get the same genuine charger from Myer when they tried to get rid them all for $35. Life is good. Thanks everyone.
Did you pay with paypal? If so you still can open a dispute and get a refund.
