How long do I have to buy a SquareTrade Care Plan?

On eBay, you can buy a SquareTrade Care Plan within the first 30 days following the end of the auction, whether or not you’ve received the item. The one thing I’m afraid we can’t do is extend the 30 day deadline... that’s a firm part of our contract with our insurer.

Warranties on Retail items can be purchased within 90 days of item purchase. However, if your item is eligible for, and you'd like our Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) coverage your purchase window is reduced to within 30 days of the item purchase date.

You can get a full refund on your policy at any time within the first 60 days. You can also cancel your policy after 60 days but the refund will be pro-rated.

Our friendly refund policy means you don’t have to worry about taking a risk by purchasing a Care Plan early. If your item doesn’t arrive, or doesn’t arrive in working condition, or you decide for any reason that you don’t want the warranty, just let us know and we’ll gladly refund you your money for the warranty. After all, we’re here to help reduce your risk.

We do not sell electronics – we have no control over your seller’s shipping policies. If you have questions about your item shipment or any other question about the item or transaction, please contact your seller.
