A B.C. woman who bought a second-hand Nintendo Switch for her two children this spring has won a partial refund after realizing the console she bought had been banned from going online.

Nicole Jones bought the Switch from a private seller, Jaime MacDonald, for $380 on March 18 after seeing MacDonald's listing on Facebook Marketplace. MacDonald's post said the console was "like new" with freshly updated software, according to a ruling from the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal.

Jones took the console home, connected it to her TV and let her six- and nine-year-old children play offline chip games — games that don't need to be connected to the internet in order to work. In mid-May, her children tried to play an online game but found it wouldn't work.
