Is this a scam?

[ghost88123]

On ebay there is a gtx 1070 for $50 and it says its brand new 8gb https://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-1070-DirectX-12-GV-N1070G1-GAMING-8GD-R2-256-Bit-GDDR5-PCI-/182843699312?hash=item2a92557070:g:mdoAAOSw6VRZ7AJU Also was wondering if this would fit in a nzxt h440 case

you know, there's a saying: 'if it's too good to be true', ' then it is!'. Yes, this is a joke. That card is worth so much more. Just look at the sellers details. No reviews of note. No history. Don't bid/purchase. It's a p*ss take.

Couldn't I just return it if it is fake? Its listed 14 day money back

At $50, buy it and find out. Worst case, PayPal/eBay will refund you - it is listed "as new" which means you get a refund if it doesn't work.

This could be a listing error. Another possibility would be stolen goods that the seller is in a hurry to get rid of, though such a suspiciously low asking price may be counter-productive to that.

ebay will almost certainly take that bogus listing down quite soon.

Either scam, or hijacked account.

Well, I hope you didn't buy it. But, if you did, as InvalidError has said their is a refund/complaint mechanism in place to get your money back. Maybe lesson learned though.

"14 day return", promised to you by a scammer.
And you get to pay the return shipping!

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm certain that it is a scam. Don't try.

If you pay with paypal, they are somewhat trigger happy on refunding, often because they have the sellers bank details.

Bottom line:
You are not going to get a new GTX 1070 for $50.

You will either get nothing, or a completely bogus GPU pretending to be a 1070.

Yes, you can then go through paypal to get your money back.
But why bother in the first place?

You're not going to get the advertised GPU for that price.

eBay has already removed the listing.
