View Warranty & Return Policy

Unless otherwise stated in the auction, items we sell are generally guaranteed not to be defective on arrival (DOA). This is commonly referred to as a non-DOA warranty and is specifically referred to as a Guaranteed not to be DOA warranty in our auctions. It is defined by the following:

A guaranteed not to be DOA (Defective On Arrival) warranty refers to the item arriving as described, free from defects other than those stated in the listing, for a period of ten (10) business days after receiving the item. DOA claims must be made within ten business days of carrier verification of item receipt. After ten business days, no warranties of any kind apply to the item and it is to be considered sold "as-is."

Please note that the above warranty applies to United States customers only. International customers, please contact us for warranty terms and conditions. When applicable, items may be covered by remaining manufacturer warranty.

Return Policy

While we're confident in the quality of our product, we do realize that certain situations arise that require items to be returned, exchanged, or repaired. We'll do everything to ensure that you are satisfied with your business experience. Before deciding to return your item, click here for our Support Center which may help you in resolving any issues you may be having with your item. Also, please contact us through eBay with your situation so that we may assist you further. Please note that some auctions do not qualify for returns and this will be noted within the auction itself. Please read below to determine whether or not your item is covered by our return policy:

Your order will qualify for return or exchange, without penalty or expense, if:

• Your item arrives defective or becomes defective due to hardware failure within 10 business days of receiving the item.
• Your item arrived damaged by the shipping company. If this is the case, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can file a damage claim and get the return process started for your order. Please keep the original packaging.
• You received the wrong item. If this is the case, please contact us and we will assist you further.

Your order will not qualify for return or exchange, without penalty or expense, if:

• You received the item, but there is nothing wrong with it and you simply want to return it. We accept returns of non-defective merchandise as long as a Return Merchandise Authorization number has been issued within the warranty period. Please note that the customer is responsible for returning items of this nature at his or her expense and only a partial refund of the purchase price less a 15% restocking fee will be issued. Shipping will not be refunded for non-defective merchandise returns.
• You are having trouble getting your system to work properly due to not having drivers installed or other software related issues. If this is the case, please click here to visit our Support Center which may assist you further.
• You discover that your item is defective and it is beyond our 10 business day warranty. As stated in our warranty policy, all DOA claims must be made within 10 business days of receiving your item. After 10 business days the item is considered sold "as-is" and returns are no longer accepted.

Once you've determined whether or not your order is eligible for return, here's how it works:

• Customers must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number prior to returning an item. Please contact us with your name, email address, Order ID, and reason for return. Once an RMA number has been issued, the customer will receive a PDF document that will need to be printed out and included along with the shipment. Additional instructions may be included in that document.
• For all shipments, excluding freight, a UPS or FedEx Electronic Return Label (ERL) is generated and emailed to the customer, who then prints it out, affixes it to the package to be returned, and drops it off at any local UPS Store or FedEx Office (formerly FedEx Kinko's) location. If you would prefer UPS or FedEx to pick up the return from your home or office, we can also schedule them to come out and pick up the package with a preprinted label. Please indicate which method you prefer.
• Once the item is returned, it will be inspected, repaired if applicable, and either a replacement item will be sent out or a refund will be issued. Please note that a 15% restocking fee will be deducted from the refund amount for non-defective merchandise or merchandise that was returned and is as described in the auction. Also, shipping will not be refunded for non-defective merchandise returns. We can also ship the non-defective merchandise back to the customer. Return merchandise that qualifies for a full refund will have the refund issued via PayPal.
• Play It Again PCs cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged returned goods sent by the customer at his or her expense.
