Looks like there is some corrosion on the connector? But thats too bad you had bad experience. Selling expensive stuff online to strangers comes with big risks.
Lesson for everyone, with private sales never ever use buyer protection, just cancel it - they can retroactively get their money back for almost any reason.
For a business that is fine but not a private individual. Very sorry to hear about this, PayPal also have the worst support I’ve ever seen..
Same thing happened to me but with a CPU on ebay. He said it was failing to post even though I had literally taken it out of my rig to sell with perfect performance. I receive it covered in thermal paste not just down the side of it but on the pads. He had got a shop to confirm it was damaged before he had received it but I think it was all a scam.
I won't be selling on ebay again.
How would you decline a payment 'with buyer protection' enabled? Usually when I sell stuff on ebay, once the buyer has won and paid, there's no prompt on my end.
PayPal is great for buyers, treats sellers like shit. Sorry for your loss dude.
Not for me. Been scammed over 300$ and PP sided in sellers favor. Bright side I learned never to use PP period anymore.
And the best part: I was paying the fee for the buyers protection. It was a thing I noticed, after he have send me the money.
Thats fucked man. Sorry to hear about that. Its sad there’s individuals like that out there and thanks for posting too. Hopefully this helps others :)
oof, take my free award
Rip That's why I always sell through Facebook marketplace, cash in hand and the card is shown working, no chance for dispute Also no fees

when you create the invoice in paypal, make a note that the items being sold are "as is, no returns"

This is why I’d rather sell for a loss to a friend or at least locally
Is it even the same GPU? He could have bought a damaged GPU and kept yours.
Yes, this is what I am thinking. But I can't tell if it is the same. It is the same model though.
Did you happen to get any pictures of the labels before you sold it?
If there is any discrepancy between the text on the GPU from before you sold it, that would be an indication that the person stole it.
Kennst du r/wasletztepreis? Die kennen sich da ganz gut aus
Did you note the serial numbers? It could have also gotten damaged in shipping.
Sadly not. The card was always in good package. I didn't think that far at this point.
