FIXONICRepair before replacement
We help users compare the likely repair, parts, tools and difficulty before concluding that a product must be replaced.
Our governing principle
People should be able to understand, maintain and repair the products they own.
Fixonic is not a general resale marketplace with a repair category added later. Repairability shapes what can be listed, how faults are disclosed, how parts are sourced, how tutorials are published and how sellers are moderated.
What this means in practice
Rules that affect the marketplace
Faults must be visible
Known symptoms, missing parts, liquid damage, power state and previous repair attempts should not be hidden behind vague condition labels.
Compatibility needs evidence
Parts must identify compatible devices and, where possible, model codes or manufacturer part numbers. “Universal” is not accepted without justification.
Quality labels must be honest
OEM, OEM-equivalent, aftermarket, refurbished and donor-pulled parts are different products and must be described as such.
Affordable does not mean unchecked
Low prices are useful only when the part is traceable, reasonably reviewed or tested, returnable and delivered as promised.
Knowledge is part of the product
Repair guides identify tools, parts, time, difficulty and hazards. Useful guidance should not disappear because a user does not purchase from us.
Equipment should be understandable
Protocols, logic levels, model references, software support, calibration and skill level matter more than a vague “professional tool” label.
Safety is not optional
Batteries, mains voltage, capacitors, glass, heat and soldering risks must be made prominent before a repair begins.
Supplier standard
How parts and equipment earn a place here
Accountable source
The supplier has a real Fixonic seller account responsible for current stock, dispatch, returns, support and recalls.
Known fit and capability
Parts map to recognised devices; equipment records state relevant models, protocols, voltages, software and limitations.
Quality evidence
Reviews and order history must meet thresholds unless we have recorded a physical sample test.
Powered-equipment evidence
Traceability, product-safety information, English instructions and applicable conformity evidence are required before supplier-feed publication.
Tracked and honest delivery
Current stock and delivery are separate. “Quick delivery” is limited to a maximum estimate of seven working days.
Low, capped margin
Recommended supplier pricing uses landed cost with a margin that reduces as the item becomes more expensive.
