I never use it, dont really get it never bothered to figure it out, But ive seen something I want. From a quick glance does this look like a legit seller? He's not got 100% feedback does that matter?
looks legit but do be sure to ask for actual pictures of the item as that looks like a stock net pic .. ask for good pics all around the item and save copys of any image he sends alond with all messages ect ..
Well if the warranty is by himself, it has no backing whatsoever. Especially once the month or however long PayPal give you to get a refund is up.
If you want a proper warranty and lens, I suggest buying from a shop, it's a lot of money, I'd rather save up a bit more for a month or two, and rest at night assured I have my years warranty.
It's all up to you, but unless it's a shop, the warranty doesn't mean jack.
Also, before you buy I'd go ahead and read through the manufacturers warranty guides, should be able to find one on their website, then just CTRL + F "import" or something along them lines to see what they say about imported goods.
Ignore all warranties. Pisses me off so much when high street stores offer you an extended warranty. It's bullshít. Sale of goods act 1972 states any item (even when in auction) must confirm to contract. That means it must be - as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality ie mustn't have an inherent fault. This applies to EVERYTHING you ever buy and the legal warranty under sale of goods act last for SIX YEARS. don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If you do have a problem, it is with the seller not manufacturer. It's the seller from whom you should seek recourse. Often they will say did you get the extended warranty blah blah, then might say contact cannon directly. It's rubbish, it's always the seller - the seller has to replace or refund you.
Had this with my mums tv a few years ago. £700 new and broke after 16 months. They tried all the warranty crap and manufacturer stuff with my mum, I told here about SOG act and she didn't believe me, I sent a letter to dixons and two weeks later - a brand new tv :)
Obviously the fit for purpose bit can alter the 6 year warranty. Eg a £5 kettle from Argos can't be expected to last for 6 years, a £600 camera lense is however.

Knew a level law would be useful one day :O
I doubt that law will come to a private seller / eBay user.
If that's the case, I'm taking my DT back to the guy that sold me with this act.
Should bookmark that mate knew it roughly but that confirms it all
Just wondering.. My iphone broke after 14 months of owning (apple only offer 12 months warranty) and I was told if I wanted a replace it would be £120 + my old phone
Where would I have stood in just flat out demanding a replacement / refund? Surely a £500 phone must last more than 14 months
Yea just write a letter to the seller so carphone warehouse for example quoting the sale of goods act and referencing it and saying how its relevant to you and Demand recourse within 14 days and send it recorded delivery!
Fair enough mate cheers for that will bear it in mind! Only thing that annoys me is that they could literally flat out ignore you and you wouldn't have much ground to stand unless you took it to court, which in most cases is just too much hassle for the average person.
It's not true with private sales...to some extent anyway. Of it says sold as seen etc then you have nothing. It can come down to trying to prove that the car/bike was faulty at time of sale/the owner knew/ it's unreasonable ware. But this can be very very difficult and like you say too time consuming, complicated etc. much much harder to get back off a private sale, bit not impossible...you do still have rights
