Items as described
I purchased a USB 3.0 DVD/CD writer from this seller which turned out to be faulty — it powered on briefly, then stopped working and even left a disc stuck inside the drive.
I contacted the seller, who initially offered only a 10% refund, then a 50% refund, both of which I declined as the item was clearly defective and not fit for purpose. I had to quote consumer rights and push for a proper resolution.
The seller also asked me to return the item at my own cost, which is not acceptable for faulty goods. Again, I had to challenge this before any progress was made.
Eventually, OnBuy stepped in and issued a full refund on the seller’s behalf, which I appreciate — but this only happened after unnecessary back and forth.
At the time of writing, I am still waiting to see whether the seller follows through with providing a prepaid return label, as required.
Summary:
Product was faulty
Seller initially unhelpful and tried partial refunds
Resolution only achieved after escalation
I would recommend caution when buying from this seller.
