Apple express replacement charged me 600?!

Okay so, i bought a brand new unopened iphone 5 on ebay. The camera did not work so I called apple and told them, and I went through with the express replacement where they send me a new iphone and I mail in the defective one that I have. I am under warranty and everthing, so they told me its just a 29$ fee. I checked my bank activity just now, and apple has charged me the 29$ AND $610.42!!!!! Where did 610 dollars come from?!!? I tried calling apple, but they are now closed since it is past 10pm. I am going to the bank first thing tomorrow morning to stop the transaction, but I was wondering if anyone had this type of trouble before and/or if they could tell me why I was charged 610 dollars. It makes no sense to me.

Ad diesel said, that's the way it works. They authorize the price of a new phone against your card. If you do not retrun the defective phone, they will charge you for the replacement. If you return it, the charge will be reversed.
Also, just FYI: "i bought a brand new unopened iphone 5 on ebay"... there is no such thing. Just like you can't buy a brand new car from your next door neighbor (unless they own a dealership of course). There are no authorized sources for iPhones on ebay. It's remotely possible that the phone is, in fact, unopened and in new condition... however, it ceased being "new" the minute it was purchased from Apple or a carrier.

  • I would like to know if I'll have an all new iPhone or a reconditioned one with the Apple Express Replacement process ?

    Today I've launched the Express Replacement Process for my iPhone 5 which have dead pixels. I would like to know if UPS will bring me an all new iPhone 5 or a reconditioned one.
    Tks !

    There is no way of knowing. And, ss the reconditioned one will be indistinguishable from new, it doesn't make uch difference.

  • Concerning the express replacement service, i was wondering if i had to personally drop off my old iphone at a nearby apple store or can a freind do it for me?

    since the nearest apple store is a couple hours drive, i was wondering if i had to personally drop off my iphone for the express replacement service or if a friend could do it for me in my place if they were in the area?
    thank you

    Express replacement is generally handled through the mail. They ship you a phone and a box and you send the old one back. However, you can also take the old phone to the Apple store and they can replace it in the store. That would be much easier and less expensive than the express service unless it is that much trouble for you to drive to the Apple store.

  • Apple just replaced my battery - but it still won't charge

    Hi guys,
    Just got my macbook (white, 13 inch, late 2007) back from the apple store - they did a couple of repairs on it and also replaced the battery which wasn't charging. The lady at the genius bar did a few tests on it and charged the machine with another battery and said it was 'definitely' an issue with the battery and not the logic board.
    Brought it home today, plugged in the charger but the new battery won't charge. The charger light won't come on which makes me think it's the power adapter that needs replacing. The orange light came on briefly a while ago and the battery did start to charge but this didn't last. Just wondering if anyone thinks the same as me? I've already ordered a replacement charger so I hope this resolves the issue.
    The adapter still powers the macbook for now but I don't know if that will continue. :s

    While you are waiting for the new charger, go ahead and reset you SMC:

  • Express Replacement Service question.

    After ringing AppleCare regarding an issue I've been having with my iPhone 4S for the past week, I've booked an Express Replacement for my iPhone.
    The problem I've been having is that my home button will sporadically stop working, "miss" clicks or register one click as two, and vice versa.
    The issue is intermittent, and doesn't happen ALL of the time, but it becomes bothersome to the point that I know there's a problem that needs to be fixed.
    What will happen if Apple can't replicate the issue (which is the complication with these intermittent issues). Will Apple charge me the replacement fee? I've mentioned to the person on the phone that the issue is indeed an intermittent and sporadic issue and he agreed that it needs servicing. There is no physical damage to the iPhone. It's been in a protective case from day one, screen protectors etc. And never been dropped or exposed to liquids, dirt, or excessive dust.
    Cheers,
    Aidan.

    You can activate the phone by dialing *228 and following the instructions. You will need to know the last 4 digits of the account holder's social security number or the account password. A warranty replacement phone from Apple will have no affect on your contract. Your phone number will be the same.
    If you have trouble activating the phone yourself, take it to your local Verizon Store or call 800-922-0204.
    Best of luck.

  • I AM LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT CHARGER FOR MY LAPTOP OR A NEW PORT PLUG TO REPAIR MINE

    DO YOU HAVE A REPLACEMENT CHARGER AT A RESONABLE PRICE OR A REPLACEMENT TIP "C"

    Hallo Rzepinski,
    Deine Englisch ist nicht so schlecht wie meine Detusch! Anyways, The iBook G4 is a great all around computer. It is great for traveling and anyone who does the "basic" computing. Anything that programs that come with the iBook will work very well with it. Some programs that I use most are with my iBook are Safari (Web Browser), iChat AV (AIM), iTunes (Music Organizer), Address Book, iWeb (Basic Website creation), iPhoto 6 (Photo Organizer/bit of editing), which I use every day, iWork (like MS Office), Mail (Email), and many others.
    Do such programmes like Macromedia Dreamweaver run good on this iBook.
    Yes, You can find more information about Macromedia here. Just look at the System Requirements there should be a Mac version
    How about Photoshop CS? Does it run fluently
    You might want to look at this past thread.
    On my windows box I use Trillian, is there any alternative for MacOS?
    I believe Trillian is just like Adium or Fire.
    And how robust is the case of the iBook? I mean scratches and something like this. Because My Windows Laptop ist robust, and it is black. But how does it look like with this white iBook?
    I used mine throughout school, its the most robust laptop I've ever seen. Scratches do occur but are not that noticeable.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS If you have any more questions just respond. For third-party programs try "Googling": "(program name) os x"

  • My Lightning to 30 pin adapter (Apple A1468) replacement

    My Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter (Apple A1468) stopped charging my iPad after 4 months. If I take it into an Apple store, will they replace it? It is a genuine Apple product which I purchased from Amazon. I no longer have the box it came in and I can't seem to find any information on if it has a warranty.

    All that stuff is on mine as well. The reason I had a suspicion is because the item link on Amazon from where I ordered it no longer exists... but I do remember it being advertised as a genuine Apple product when I ordered it (and it was fulfilled by Amazon) especially since I did my research and made sure not to get a generic since I read some pretty awful reviews on the generic adapters.

  • Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

    You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

  • Extending WiFi of ATT 2Wire modem w/ Apple Express modems?

    We have residential / small business internet via AT&T DSL. We run a phone line into a 2Wire (Gateway 2701 HG-B) modem/router (804.11g/n) which provides internet connectivity for an older Mac via an ethernet cable and via wireless for my MacBook (n) when I am w/in 25 - 40 feet of the 2Wire.
    But I use my MacBook mostly about 95 feet away in a separate building (ie the garage) and that is where I really need the internet connection. Sometimes I can connect to the 2Wire when I am in the garage but very rarely.
    Can I buy an Apple Express Modem and place it half way to the garage as to extend wireless coverage out to the garage? I think even buying 2 Express modems would be cheaper and much easier than running cat 5 cable in this case because of the building obstacles.
    Or would another brand of modem be better for this style of daisy-chaining (without the chain!) ?? Someone recommended the Zyxel Adsl2 Gateway 802.11n modem for Daisy-chaining. Should I buy a replacement for the 2Wire modem to be sure this approach will work?
    TIA, Allan

    Can I buy an Apple Express Modem and place it half way to the garage as to extend wireless coverage out to the garage?
    Sorry, but that won't work as most non-AirPort routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.
    Or would another brand of modem be better for this style of daisy-chaining (without the chain!) ??
    Any modem that is Ethernet-capable can be used. In this case, you can connect one AirPort directly to this modem by Ethernet, and then, extend it wireless range with another AirPort.
