Selling My Card On Ebay (Question)

[SkittlezSniperz]

Dont know who to ask this question, and tis the first place that came to my mind. I have 2 GPU's both 270x vapor-x by sapphire and there both in working order just used them around 20 min ago and i didnt expose them to static... I am woundering if i sell my card on ebay and when the buyer recives the item and he somehow breaks it and says that it was like that before the shipment what can i do? (Selling For 120 USD)

Its always best to ship it out with insurance. Not sure if there's much you can do unless you specifically have it on your auction no returns accepted.

Ship it via Fedex, they have Insurance covered with your shipping fees. Or alternative route would be to use USPS and add shipping. usually $1-$2. DO NOT USE UPS, they have absurd rates and their insurance wont cover anything.

Make a video of the single card working and as you remove it and box it, include a good shot of the serial numbers on the back of the card. Make a copy, slap it on cd and mail that in with the gpu. Include on description of contents gpu and cd, proof of working condition, and keep the receipt. If the new owner has a problem claiming it's doa at least you'll have definitive proof that it was working when shipped, so any damage is either from shipping or new owner abuse.

Could also state in the auction that proof of working condition will be included on cd, so you won't accept returns based on doa or damage caused by shipping, but will be insured. That'll leave avenues open for recompense if something does go wrong.

well, tbh I was always worried of the same thing as the OP. I want to sell my secondary pc and maybe downgrade to a 750ti in my i5 pc or get a 960 or 970. Anyway, I think regardless, ebay and seller sites in general are more biased toward the buyer because if they claim any little thing is wrong they'd get a refund regardless.

You can SAY no returns on ebay, but, on ebay's policy regardless if you put that or not, they're covered by the "ebay buyer's guarantee" or whatever it's called.


in short, there's always a risk, but that was a good idea earlier they said talking about make a video of it working and include it with the GPU itself. You could also say you will only sell to buyers with (for example) at least 10-20 positive feedback, to keep out the scammers with smurf accounts.

Well, excluding the 0-20 ppl is a little unfair, we all started at 0 sometime, some have done it more than once. If anything, just say 0-10 requires communication or the bid will be denied. That way everyone gets to bid and price goes up
