Is it difficult to get a refund & how long's it take?

I did have one item not show up after a month. Half.com sends an email after 4 weeks asking if you got the item. I had actually forgotten about it.
The procedure is pretty simple. They have a short form to fill out online. They then try to track it down with the seller. If that fails they will credit you account. Took about 2-3 weeks for me.

There are some limitations; I think they insure only up to $50 or $100 (not sure which) worth of problem items. That sounds good but that is a lifetime total. Once you exceed that amount there is no more coverage for future problems.

Did you ever have to wait more than 4 weeks to get your item? I'm guessing they check to see if you have left a feedback for the seller before they send out that email. It is also possible they only send the email from "problem" sellers' customers. In my case, the seller had a good feedback rating when I placed the order but there were a slew of complaints posted to him just after I ordered.

Yeah, and it took about two and a half weeks to get my refund.

I believe they have a lifetime maximum of a $50 refund.
