Hello Mavic Pilots,
So I currently have 5 returns 3 disputes involving 2 of my banks towards Ebay. One return now lost for over a week with USPS. I have more issues than GQ at the moment, the last order was just received 2 (used) batteries for a Mavic Pro. Both have small cracks 1 on the female contacts furthest side looks like a security alignment slot for the 10 pins. The other a small crack near the side mount / release button - small but missing a chip from the housing. I don't know much about Li-Po I come from the Ni-Cd era and took some courage hooking them up or plain stupidity, both show good health status @ 70 charges. Temps in the day here are humid in the 90's soon to be 100ish. (degs). So this being a sixth headache and customer support at Ebay taking way too long..I was gonna see if DJI might offer a swap for a refurbished pair or if that's worth the effort. Last option roll the dice, keep eyes on at all times, assign a C button to check while in use, store them in a safe place (underground) use DJI's single charger. Cells haven't been punctured sooo give it a go and hope it's only cosmetic. Maybe get the spares from a trustworthy vendor after this mess is over. Any advice would bea great help thanks!

DJI doesn't sell refurbished batteries and/or refurbish batteries.

Don’t buy used equipment on eBay without good in focus pictures of the merchandise. Make sure sellers have impeccable feedback.
 
Indeed, I do my best to read it all including reviews of course this seller had the best angle. It is minor & I don't mind a lil'wear or blemish from a used item but this was a bit much. I'm willing to take the high road and hit. Sorry don't know much about DJI's returns etc. Luckily I haven't had to use any of it or Ebay's. The customer support chat option wasn't available apparently due to covid 19 but placing the order.. fully functional with no delay lol!
