SquareTrade extends the value of holiday gifts purchased online

Innovative SquareTrade Extended Warranties increase the life of online purchases.


SAN FRANCISCO, CA CA - November 1, 2006 - SquareTrade, an industry leader in offering services to make online shopping safer and easier, now offers low cost, high quality extended warranties for consumer electronics purchased on eBay. SquareTrade extended warranties are also easily transferable creating a fantastic protection for gifts purchased on eBay as the holiday shopping season begins.

SquareTrade is an industry leader in protecting online purchases with extended warranties for consumer electronics purchases, including new, refurbished and used items on eBay. SquareTrade warranties provide parts and service protection for up to three years to avoid the risk of service costs during the effective life of most consumer electronic purchases. Online shoppers have found SquareTrade extended warranties integral to making their online purchases. "Having an extended warranty available added to my confidence in buying this product." Wrote Paul F. from Boulder, CO. Deborah M. from Erie PA said "...(SquareTrade´s) warranty option...was the deciding factor for buying this computer."

Marvin Y. from Frost, MN. elaborated "It´s very important to me, especially on a refurbished laptop to have a warranty available. Paying as you go can be cost prohibitive, for example the Palm Pilot that I bought last summer. I´ve learned my lesson."

The SquareTrade service offers high quality insured protection at prices significantly lower than most traditional retailers. "This represents a huge value to consumers who might be reluctant to buy consumer electronics online otherwise" said Steve Abernethy, SquareTrade´s CEO. "Consumers know they can lower the hassles of buying online and now they can give this hassle free protection as a compliment to many of the popular electronics purchased on eBay. This enables consumers to both get great deals online as well as get low cost warranty protection during their holiday shopping".;
