Premium didn't pay off? Full refund.

Pricing questions.
What's the difference between Basic and Premium?
Basic is free: identity, authenticity, spec match, in under a minute. Premium is $49: adds hardware health, burn-in, photo set, PDF export, and the buyer-verifiable device binding. Same app, same download.
What's free about the Basic report?
Everything. No card, no account, no trial. The Basic report covers identity, authenticity, and spec match, and it produces a publicly shareable URL that buyers can rely on. We run it on every Mac you list.
What does the $49 Premium upgrade cover?
Hardware health (SSD wear, hours, lifetime writes; battery cycles), sustained CPU and GPU burn-in, a 30-minute memory test, photo set with on-screen serial, PDF export, and the device-binding fingerprint that buyers can re-verify on receipt.
Why $49 for Premium?
A Mac listing typically clears $1.5k to $20k. $49 is a small fraction of that for a signed, verifiable hardware report with a buyer-verifiable device binding, and Premium is money-back guaranteed.
Can I upgrade a Basic report to Premium later?
Yes. The report URL stays the same; anywhere you've pasted it (eBay, Swappa, DMs) keeps working, the contents just get richer. You can upgrade from the report page or from the Macfax app, on the same Mac that issued the Basic.
