I am v.happy too. Yianna, do you feel as safe as purchasing online than you do from a real-life store?

Thats where you are wrong. From the time you purchase something using your credit card you are automatically insuranced from the credit card company. If you used paypal as well you are insured through them as well. So you can contact both paypal and the credit card company for assistance. Not to mension the actual seller. You can also purchase a second insurance cover online from ensrow if you were scared of the purchase. I guess negative feedback is the least of their worries.

So I could call my bank and tell them that my keyboard broke after 6 months of using it and ask for a refund from them? I am not sure that would work. Maybe what you say is true if the item is not delivered or if it is Dead on arrival.

Since Cyprus has no hardly any consumer law there is not much you can do. How would you suggest you deal with as*hole companies.

There is a law that requires 2 years guarantee with everything. But usually you don't need to get so far. I would just go give them back the faulty item and demand to either give me a new one, refund, or fix it very fast. Nobody denied to me this so far. Once I got an X-box from Germanos. The sale person told me that I could play DVD movies with it. I asked him if he is sure I do not need the remote control add-on for the movies and he said he is sure. So I bought it. I opened it and played with it. After some time I found out that I indeed wanted the remote control add-on to play DVDs. So I took it back to Germanos and demanded to either give me a full refund or give me the remote control for free. They proposed to me to give me the remote control at cost price but I didn't accept. In the end they gave me the full refund.

That's everybodies main worry. If you purchase a bad keyboard make then it happens to brake whos fault is it?

You really do know how to handle them.

So what does this mean exactly? Anything I buy have 2 years guarantee? Are you sure? Can I implement this law if need be?

The keyboard was Logitech, one of the most expensive models. So not my fault I never had to use the 2 year guarantee law so I am not sure how easy it will be. But the law is there so you have the right to use it.

I wish it exists but I am somewhat hazy. Do you have any proof this law exists. Has anybody ever used this law.

morning guys, i've been using ebay for about a year now, no problem at all, one item didn't turn up, i complained to pay pal and the money got refunded to me. With Amazon i found that the postage was very expensive, so i use play.com, they don't charge for shipping, dont matter how many items you pay for.
