buyer returned a damaged different graphic card

Hi,

 

I sold a sencond hand computer graphic card, it was fully working. 

 

Though I listed it as second hand and no returns, the buyer got it and after around 10 days, the buyer opened return case saying 

the card is damaged/totally dead. 

 

Not sure what's happening but I guess on eBay the only option for me is accepting the return and pay the return postage. 

 

However today I got the card back and I found that, though the returned one is the same model, it is not the same one I sent as I did a mark on the back of it before sending out (also photo it and video it).

 

The returned one is totally dead.

 

So what's happening, do people now abuse eBay buyer protection like this now?

Search google images for "nvidia gtx 780" and then "r9 390 sapphire nitro", you'll see what I'm talking about.

Well that could happen I suppose if both cards were not working.........................and the same card to boot.

 

I must admit I know nothing about graphics cards, do they all look the same (apart from identifying marks) ?


Maybe cuppy 'accidentally' sent.....

 

I am a bit bemused by the claim that whatever card they are now using works. I fail to see how this is relevant to the dispute. If the original card wasn't broken, why fix it?

 

Just sayin'. But I lean towards the seller at the moment, especially given the buyer's racism.

Yeah, I was puzzled by that too

 

I returned the card because it was broken, I'm on my computer now, I couldn't be on my computer now with a broken card.

 

As an aside, I can't see in the OP's sold listings a graphics card for $500.

 

Is that just me or ?

It says this listing was ended because the item was no longer available.

Did you pick it up from the seller?    Or did they post it to you?

It'll be interesting to hear the seller's side when they get back on line Stawks.
