all manufacturers offer a warranty on their products, only against defects in build and for a short period of time. but you really gotta read the details, they usually won't hold up the warranty from non authorized dealers or if your not the origional purchaser from the recipt. ebay sellers offer this warranty, but you can't use it. so them saying its offered means nothing, but i guess it can increase sales to buyers who know no better. usually good ebay stores or ojust online stores will offer a DOA warranty or a 90 day warranty on the stuff they sell. don't expect anything more.
