Does the warranty cover buying used items?

Sorry Aaren, I was never able to receive the product. Now, I have to fight for refund because I was charged for that, just no product for the warranty to cover.

I purchased a used one that was listed. It had no warranty that I was aware of. but has worked great. I think you are protected in some way when you purchase through Amazon. Not sure where you are thinking of buying one from.

I would contact Square Trade and register the new item, but yes they will cover it. You can get a warranty through square trade, no matter where you purchase as long as it is new.

I thought it was supposed to be new, but I got a used one, and as far as I can tell, no warranty. The seller apologized for sending a used one and offered to resend a new one very promptly. So you should be getting a new one regardless!

I just called Square Trade, and they say that they no longer cover used products. I hope I am wrong and there are exceptions. I would love to hear from others.

Me personally I never buy anything used, you are buying someone else's problems. They got rid of it for reasons.

Yes. But sice they are all bought used, make sure the seller has included it.

I'm pretty sure it covers refurbished and used camera bought through Ebay only. You can find info about that on the square trade website.

All of my items appeared to be new. As to the warranty, I've never had to use it.

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.

Being that the item is listed as new, there is a manufacturer's warranty with it that covers the device for a year. Afterwards you can purchase another year of protection through Square Trade which is VERY cheap and covers quite a lot.

I have called Square Trade and this warranty WILL NOT cover anything USED. I asked about a television set. It would need to be open box (with warranty already) or refurbished.

I think it is ok to buy electronics used on Amazon. Make sure a seller has a positive reputation. I have sold my products on Amazon, not because anything was wrong, but because I had upgraded.

Yes, to all questions above. If you buy it new, of course. If you buy it used, you might not get some if the accessories.

It does cover items you buy from 3rd party sellers for Amazon that are used. Be very careful when using 3rd party sellers of used items. Amazon finally took care of me on a used laptop I purchased from a 3rd party seller. The laptop was a real problem and never got completely fixed. Amazon granted use of the Square Trade Protection plan I got along with the laptop, I took it to the shop that works on all my office laptops and they got it working. Thankfully Amazon paid the bill as the seller would not take the laptop back without a 15% restocking fee. The restocking fee would have cost me $100 so thankfully Amazon came through for me. I have since donated the laptop in a raffle so, its someone elses problem now.....

I just got off the phone with Square Trade and they said they do NOT cover refurbished items unless purchased through eBay. The ST rep said that since ST is partners with Amazon, their warranty offer automatically shows up in Amazon listings whether the item is refurbished or not, their computer can't tell the difference. Glad I called!
