GHD hair straightners bought from ebay

Dani · 27th August 2008, 10:33

I bought a pair of GHD's about 4 weeks ago from ebay. They have all of a sudden just stopped working - at first it was just one side of the plates that stopped but now both don't work. The light comes on as if they are heating up but nothing happens. A couple of sparks have also flown off them when I touched the plates.

I have emailed the person on ebay to let them know, but haven't heard anything yet. Am I within my rights to ask for my money back or do I need to go to GHD? They were bought brand new, in the box they are normally sold in in the shops. It wasn't an ebay shop, but the person was selling quite a few of them at the time.

Thanks

Are they counterfeit?

Probably. TS have come across a warehouse full of the damned things and seized them.

Why on earth people continue to but these things, from ebay of all places, is beyond me.

No they aren't counterfeit.
