Hello everyone and welcome to a slightly different budget builds video where today we're taking a look at an ebay scammer, but this time its not the usual fake GPU, nope. Theyve started buying peoples graphics cards, and are trying to get you to ship them abroad...Which led to a scammer getting a bit led on...and a bit more than he bargained for.

I don't sell on ebay anymore cause I sold a perfectly working laptop with no issues. Buyer claimed that it had a broken screen and stuck on windows xp, It was an old gaming laptop that came with xp but I have had windows 7 and 10 on it before. I asked for pictures of damage and I'd get a refund and return started, The buyer refused to send pictures of the damage. So they got ebay involved then they won the battle. So to give ebay the middle finger, I closed my bank account so they couldn't take my money out and took all my other listings down. RIP 12 year old ebay account.

A bit of a cherry on top would be that there’s a voice recording in there that is also rigged to scream out “SURPRISE, MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!” Whenever he opens it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If it does go through and the scammer gets it and it works….

He went ballistic and I nearly wet myself, funny never had any more marketing calls on my mobile, bet he had a big phone bill for his troubles 🤣🤣🤣

It would have been better to 3d print or find a graphics cards sized box, put some cow manure or some other smelly/messy product, and then vacuum seal it with a cover that doesn't show what is within. That way they will be tricked and get the full payload when they breach the seal.

Plus, you found a use for that horrid old 9500GT you did a review about (I remember the one, and I'm still surprised that the 9500GT even worked). Hopefully you can now re-list the R9 390 to someone who is decent, and will actually want to pay you for it (and be in the UK). Personally, I only sell to UK addresses, and anyone like that would have been immediately blocked, the sale canceled, and the item re-listed at the next opportunity.

They look laughably bad and a joke, but they aren't when you realize these individuals target vulnerable groups like the elderly and ignorant-about-technology folks. Good on you for messing with them with that 9500 GT. It will serve a far better purpose in scamming that scammer than it ever will playing games. A worthy sacrifice. It brings me great joy seeing those scammers getting screwed over. Also good getting people more aware of scams! Some good-hearted people despite seeing all the warning signs might still get taken advantage of.

The only good thing about the GPU shortage is that fabs around the world are allocating capacity to produce desktop and laptop parts in huge volumes again. Before COVID-19 and the cryptocurrency boom, the industry was so much into "mobile first!!!" that I was worried about the future of desktop and laptop parts. You see, the good thing about computer chips is that more demand means more fabs (it's not like real estate or crude oil where there is a limit to the supply). Also, it means more R&D money invested. For example, would Intel have made the decision to invest in gamer-class GPUs without the increased demand?

I had a bad experience recently on Ebay selling a similar Nitro+ Sapphire card , only mine was a Vega 64 with a buyer forcing a return by dishonestly claiming the card is faulty. Not an outright scam but something dishonest and worth paying attention to. In my case the buyer was being dishonest by claiming the card was overheating and therefore defective when it was perfectly fine - and I'd tested it prior to shipping as well as after I'd gotten it back. Made excuses as to why he couldn't offer evidence the card was overheating - or doing further tests because he'd packed his PC equipment for a move... Pity he probably didn't do his research to find out he didn't want a card which dumped 295W or so of heat out but that ended up costing me £120 or so as I sold the card at a lower price on Marketplace (with the card losing value in the month he had it also to boot).

What I'd have wanted to do was after testing the card offer the buyer the option of sending the card back to him free or keeping the card and giving him a refund minus £100 to reflect the loss of selling price.

Believe it or not, people buy things on eBay or Amazon with the intention of using them for 2 weeks or a month and then returning them as "faulty". I guess if these people buy the same thing again and again they can enjoy the items for free in perpetuity, or at least for as long as they're willing to go through the hassle. On the other hand, nobody would buy items from eBay without the ability to return the items if they doesn't match the description. For example, I have been sent "new" phones that not only weren't new but had minor scratches on the screen or had a slightly bent frame (sigh).

@@user-yg4kj2mf1p Agree that there does need to be some ability to return items not as described to stop scam sellers. But there needs to be a tightening up and buyers should be prepared to be willing to offer evidence of their claims. When I got the card back I did tests with 3dmark and found the core/hbm and hot-spot temps were well within spec. At that point I'd have sent the card back to the buyer or refund him £250 of the £375 he paid for it to reflect drop in value and also for wasting my time. I'd have used the test results in an arguement to Ebay to justify my case.

I sold a Plextor DVD burner on Ebay that I know worked perfectly, but the buyer claimed it didn't work. I suspected he had a bad one of the same model and was trying to pull a swap scam, so I told him to smash it with a hammer and take photos of the label side with the serial number (which I showed in my listing) and he sent a photo NOT showing the label. There was a stack of DVD burners in the background of this photo. I instructed him again to take a photo of the label side but he claimed he had thrown everything away, which I previously had instructed him not to do. So the funny thing is, he put a refund claim in to Ebay and they said I had to give him a refund as soon as I received the product back, which I couldn't because he had destroyed and tossed it. So I kept the money.

Classic scam, getting you to do something by making you feel like you're doing something good for society or receiving something more/good in return (in this case, extra funds). Though I personally can't really think what a Doctor would need an R9 330 for. Extra video outputs? For that just get something cheaper haha. How about playing a Doctor simulation?

Always send any item on ebay as tracked or with a signature. I lost £50 and a CPU because the buyer claimed he never received it, and because I had no tracking, eBay sided with him. I used regular untracked/unsigned 1st class royal mail and all I got back was £20 compensation for a missing item. Certainly worth paying the extra £1 or so for the security.

It's really funny to see this type of "Nigerian-styled broken English scam" targeting native English speakers. This type of scams have much higher success rates in countries and regions that are developed to a certain level of economy but not yet on par with Five Eyes of the Anglosphere. Many sellers in those countries / regions are not capable of recognizing countless grammatical and spelling errors yet they tend to lower their guards when the potential buyer pretends to be a wealthy American / Briton working in Africa / SE Asia / Middle East.

buying anything from UK isn't worth anymore after Brexit, because you need paid 2 times VAT (VAT included in UK item price + local VAT in your country), so VAT rate will be horrendous in total cost, also most sellers in UK stopped shipping after Brexit (due to paperwork and extra hassle), Global Shipping alternative is really expensive
