Can the Squaretrade warranties being sold here at Amazon.com be used for purchase of a used laptop on eBay?

I would contact square trade, (I'm sure the email contact info is easy to obtain) and ask them directly. Why play the guessing game- go straight to the source :-) :-)

I bought this warranty on a new laptop. I would suggest either calling or emailing Squaretrade with your question on coverage for a used laptop coverage. Janet

I spoke with two SquareTrade representatives last week that told me no, that you must purchase the item through Amazon in order to purchase the warranty on Amazon.

This is a really good question. My uneducated guess is "no." While SquareTrade does cover used and refurbished computers purchased on E-Bay it looks like the terms for that coverage are significantly different from the terms of the plans sold on Amazon. Also, the price is a quote that's dependent on the E-Bay seller, etc. and there's no such "look up" or quote feature on any of the plans sold on Amazon. At www.squaretrade.com/our-coverage it says "For Refurbished & Used Items Purchased from eBay: Coverage lasts 1-2 years, as indicated at the time you purchase your Protection Plan. This coverage starts on the day after the manufacturer's warranty expires, or if there isn't a manufacturer's warranty, on the 46th day after your item purchase. Note: This means that your item is not covered for issues occurring within the first 45 days after you purchase your item. Coverage for Used items is only available for items sold on eBay." Good Luck!

Yes both Square trade warranties on Amazon and Ebay are cheaper than their direct website.

If you purchase this warranty from Amazon it's only good for purchases made through Amazon. For items bought off E-Bay you'll either have to purchase the warranty straight through Square Trade's website or the E-Bay website.

I am aware that the plan is not specific for purchases on Amazon, however if I were you I would NOT trust Square Trade. Crooks!!

No, warranties are only valid in the United States, Canada and England at the moment. However buying a item from Amazon and having it shipped to you, might be a loophole, but that is a lot of complications, of shipping from Amazon, and then if you tired to file a claim with Square Trade, would they cover shipping of the product to you in Brazil... All questions I can not answer, but for all intense purposes. unfortunately not.

The answer is NO. I purchased a new Ipad on eBay. I called SquareTrade and asked if I could buy the warranty on Amazon for use with an eBay purchase. I was told that as long as the Ipad is new, the Amazon warranty would apply. So, I purchased the warranty on Amazon. When trying to register my Ipad, the "Place of purchase" was "Amazon". This could not be changed. Wanting to make sure that this warranty would apply to my Ipad, I called SquareTrade again and explained the problem. The process to get this straightened out took SEVERAL hours. The calls are outsourced so I was dealing with Indian agents with, for the most part, thick, heavy accents so I had to ask them to repeat themselves again and again and sometimes just giving up on the answer to that particular question. In addition, their comprehension of English was limited. At the end of my first call, the agent thought it was a glitch so he canceled my purchase and told me to buy it again and try registering. After hanging up, I did (it didn't work - same problem). During multiple calls, I was put on hold several times. For one of the holds, I waited over 10 minutes and had to hang up and call back. In addition, my call was dropped several times. Each time I had to call back and start at the beginning. In the end, a supervisor informed my agent that the Amazon warranty only applies to products purchased on Amazon. The Amazon warranty is better (offering longer terms and specials in pricing) than their warranty for other retailers since Amazon their biggest reseller. SquareTrade should make this clear in the description.

Not covered if computer is refurbished and purchased through Amazon. eBay refurbished computers would be covered.

I believe you can as long as you have proof of purchase. There is a window of time that you are allowed to purchase the warranty. I would call squaretrade and get the details their customer service is great.

There is a good warranty company that I purchased that covers everthing wrong with the laptop except it getting stolen. Square safe. I'd purchase it just to be safe.

Yes it is. When you go to the website to register, the "Purchased At:" field will be pre-populated with "Amazon.com". I called SquareTrade and they confirmed that there is no way to register a product purchased elsewhere through this warranty. They were able to cancel it and I purchased a new one directly through SquareTrade.com. FWIW, it's been over a month and they haven't been able to provide a refund yet, although they insist they are working on it. It might be possible to somehow make it work, but I would suggest using this only for items purchased on

Yes, There is a warranty out there its call square trade this one is used bye the big box stores. Like Best Buy and also amazon. it's very good check the web site out and see what others think it cheaper to go with them then a retailer witch charge you more because they are the middle man they need a profit too.

I would definitely contact the warranty company and ask. As I understand it as long as you bought your computer on Amazon. I am not sure there is a time frame from purchase to getting coverage but it is worth a shot. I have received great customer service from both Amazon and Square Trade. Hope this helps.

YES! Just got off the phone with SquareTrade customer service. As long as the item is NEW, you can purchase a warranty on Amazon and apply it to the item bought elsewhere (ex: Best Buy)

*SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days

I would think not, since the product wasn't purchased from Amazon. You might consider contacting Square Trade. Thank you.

I spoke with two Squaretrade reps today on the phone, and both said no. One said that it used to be the case, but they recently changed the policy. In order to avoid problems with claims down the road, he said that a plan for a computer purchased at Best Buy, for example, should be purchased directly from the Squaretrade website. Major bummer.

I believe so as long as you have a receipt. Of you go to SquareTrade website it explains everything. Best warranty I've ever gotten.
