Discussion Zotac Scammed me on a Certified Refurbished 2080ti

[Cpumonster]

Hi all,

So I just purchased a Certified Refurbished 2080ti directly from Zotac USA from their eBay store, only to discover that it's a scam... They shipped me a 2080 badged as 2080ti.

Either Zotac has the worst certification standards of any "Certified Refurbished" program in the world or they knowingly scammed me? I don't understand how a card could be certified as a working 2080ti but actually be a 2080. Even the number of power pins is wrong. See the pictures below for more details.

I'll be sure to keep you all posted on how Zotac remedies this situation, but currently I am quite angry with their service.

I would say - ebayer scammed me, and assembled a cooler of one card onto another.
Edit: never heard a vendor selling anything on ebay. Common sense.

Request a refund through ebay, send it back, and buy legit next time

There are legitimate vendors on Ebay.
I've bought from the Best Buy warehouse and Newegg before, sold and shipped by Newegg. There are also sellers with names very similar to legitimate Companies you've heard of.
