canon 70-200 f4l focus problem!!

nope.. it still just hunts..

I'd make double sure that the contacts are clean...but it sounds like the seller wasn't honest with you. Return it, if possible.

he just told me he wont refund, and that i have to send it to canon in the us to get them to fix it... its a bad day - official.

 

[Big Mike]

Where did you buy it from? Is there anyway to report the seller or something like that?

I would suggest you call a Canon service center that is closer to you than the US. If you give them a sob story, they may agree to honor the US warranty. Or, maybe they will give you a deal on the repair cost, so that you can avoid shipping it across the pond.

i got it on ebay, but i foolishly gave the guy good feedback b4 testing it fully - yes, i am that stupid. i can still take up dispute with paypal.. il give canon a try and see what they say.. if they agree to fix it i may just forget the whole dispute thing... its not good for the heart!!!

 

[Big Mike]

I'd certainly take it up with Paypal...and see about changing your feedback on E-bay. (contact customer service)

 

[placeonthecorner]

yea i gonna try.. no more big ebay purchases for me i think... stick to the good ol' local store...

 

[Big Mike]

I've had good luck on E-bay...but it does happen that things don't go as planned. Sorry you had to be one of the unlucky ones. I hope it all works out for you.
