Even when you run into a scammer who never even sends out a product, you're usually safe and will get your money bank as long as you took the safe way via PayPal. But you need to pay via PayPal for this, as eBay has no control over whether or not the seller refunds you a bank transfer. eBay has a fairly solid buyer protection, most of the time eBay sides with the buyer when the product doesn't arrive, doesn't match the description or (like in your case) has some flaws that the seller didn't feel like disclosing. What I'd like to add for OP is to always choose PayPal as a payment method with an expensive machine like this, never bank transfer. Just my opinion though.Ĭlick to expand.Good advise. I ended up just purchasing directly from Apple.Īnd from a specs standpoint, I'm partial to the 2.8GHz mid 2015 with External Graphics. Point being, make sure you ask questions from the seller. He refused a refund so I had to file a claim with eBay and easily won my money back. I paid a little extra because of how he described it, and he was careful not to show any of the scratches in the listing. While it didn't have either of those, there were two tiny chips in the screen and the outside of the MacBook had scratches all over it. He felt it meant that there were no dents in the body and that the screen had no noticeable scratches while it was on. When I questioned the seller over this his definition of "Mint" was far different than mine.
I purchased a 2015 about 6 months ago from a seller who described theirs as "In mint condition." When it arrived, it was dirty, had scratches on it, and had some nicks on the screen. To me it means it looks brand new just like when it was opened from the box. I swear some people don't know what "Mint" means. I hate when people describe things as "Mint" only for it to show up with scratches and scrapes on it. There are some good sellers on there and generally the ones in mint or excellent condition command more of a price than ones that have been around the block a few times. If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is. If they don't discuss the body of the MacBook Pro, ask how it looks. Find out how it was used, what it was used for, and what condition the screen is in. Look at the sellers feedback and ask questions.
There's a 100 different things to look out for when buying a MacBook off of eBay.
