Was looking into getting another Pixel 6 Pro and saw many reviews where the seller would not even honor the 30 day return policy...

@@j_s0n That's why you need to read reviews and even then Backmarket will check to be sure that you're not getting played. Seller can't just refuse returns without good reasons. If they did they'd have negative ratings and they'd be dropped. You were also trying to buy a Google pixel and the 6 and 7 had too many hardware issues, some that even appeared out of nowhere and the sellers may not be ok accepting them back. I know this because I bought a pixel 7 pro in like new condition, had been opened and tried but not kept and used by the original owner. I bought it from eBay refurbished sellers, and eBay is well known for having scammers and denying refunds but I trusted the rating and warranty. It arrived and I noticed a dark circle in the top corner of the screen while setting up the device. I reached out to the seller and they responded before moving it up to eBay. They accepted the return and before I did that I did a search and found out that far too many people had similar issues with the pixel 6 and 7. Overheating, freezing, rebooting, screen bleeds that wouldn't be there when they went to sleep but were there when they woke up. Even carriers, Best buy and other sellers refused certain returns for that reason. They'd sell a phone new or refurbished and we'll inspected, sell it then bad hardware fails without a reason. Some of course are just shady and hope to fool people. Others are aware of this issur with the pixel pro 6 and 7 and try to compromise. I also know this because I was proposed a partial refund to keep the device but I wasn't accepting 20%.

2nd bad story I've heard about back market today. they don't seem to verify that what they're selling functionally works. they seem to care about aesthetics more - what they sell as "Fair" condition would be "very good" on like walmart or amazon. so their stuff looks very clean but it's like they don't test for functionality which completely defeats the purpose.

Good review and video editing I just found your video trying to get this exact phone lol. It sucks that you actually couldn't keep it but its not your fault. I like phones and I love the stock Android more than Samsung's. I've had iPhones, Samsung's, LG, HTC and now am a Google Pixel user/fan. Many people have said that it is like the Apple version of Android, I agree it's a good way to put it for people to understand lol. Stock android IMO is the best, the UI is clean, smooth, fluid, gets all the updates before any other Android phone, now that they make their own hardware and software since android has been owned by Google since 2005 I love the pixel line up even more. My first Pixel phone was the 2 XL, the camera was amazing and still is to this day I still have it lol. At the time it was the best camera on a Smartphone and was way ahead of the competition, I think it was the first phone to have night photography and still took amazing low light photos. I remember it being MKBHD's favorite new phone at the time too.

I've had mixed experiences with back market too but to me their customer service is still second to none and returns are super easy. Pro tip, if you buy a device in said condition and you receive it in a "lesser grade" (i.e. bought in "excellent" but receive it in "good" or "fair"), you can message their customer service, they'll ask for some pics and even go as far as offer to refund the difference, I've gotten between $30-$50 back just from this alone. And on top of that, if you still aren't happy, you can still return it even after all that lol.

Having a bad ESN likely means someone got the phone on installments then turned around and sold it to Backmarket because they wanted to get rid of it.
