@dav-459565 I would seriously reconsider whether eBay is the right place to buy a chainsaw (or any mechanical or electrical piece of equipment come to that).
The eBay Money Back Guarantee only covers buyers for a period of 30 days after the item is delivered; if anything goes wrong after that eBay will not help. A new item - in this case a chainsaw - may well be sold with a 12-month guarantee but if the seller does not respond to a claim made under the guarantee the buyer has no recourse.
I have read many posts over the years of buyers who have purchased items with one-year, five-year and even ten-year guarantees only to find that they are worthless when the item ceases to work and the seller does not respond to a guarantee claim by the buyer.
Personally I would recommend you either buy locally or at the very least buy direct from a company with retail premises in the same country. Trying to make a guarantee claim when eBay has been involved as a third-party go-between when purchasing is asking for trouble if anything goes wrong.
