Does the legal guarantee apply when I buy from a private person?

No. The EU legal guarantee covers sales where the seller acts for business purposes. A purchase from another private person, for example on a classifieds site, is not covered by these rules.

Check whether the seller on a marketplace is a business or a private person before you buy; online marketplaces must show this. National contract law may still give some protection in private sales.
