ok i sell a bunch of video cards on ebay. i still do it. but anyways, august 9th this guy buys an asus geforce 4 mx 420 from me for like $50.


anyways, i guess it broke like last week (2 months) and i said it was oem, and i only gave non doa warranties. so now he gets mad demanding a new one, after 2 months. i mean he coulda broke it in 2 months and its not like i have like a magic box that just makes new video cards. so i choose not to give him a new one, i mean its been over 2 months, i'm not compusa and it wasnt a retail box, he shoulda known what he was getting into. oh well got another neutral ...


do you think i was right?

If/when I start selling on eBay I'm going to have at least 5 lines (if not a paragraph) filled with nothing but disclaimers.

Tough luck for him. Didn't he already give you good feedback when he got it?

Anyway, you are in the right.

I think 2 months is plenty of time. I think you are right. I got a hard drive from a store that was brand new.. sealed in box. It died after 2 months. 2 friggin months. I lost everything.. I mean everything. I moved all the data from the old drive to the new one and formatted the old one. Did I go and punch this go over the drive.. well not over the drive anyway. Where was I.. oh yea. It is not his fault the drive went bad, he is an idiot but he did not kill my drive. I think you are in the clear.

He is a moron. DO NOT give him another card.

My Ebay austions have disclaimers and statements up the wazoo, and I still get people screwing them up. For example..

2 months? are you kidding me? there isn't a retail store out there that will replace something after 2 months, and he expects you to?
also, why did he wait so long to give feedback? that's kinda weird, too.

only 5 days to pay for the auction......doesn't seem like that long, i think as long as they contact you and arrange it within a week it's fine....at least that's how i feel, heh....oh well, have to have so much stuff or you'll get burnt......you were in the right on the card......

I'm sure you got some good stuff. This is strictly ebay shiz. I got fed up with the spoiled 14 year olds registering their daddy's gold card on an AOL account on a bidding spree.

Ebayers suck, although I've done about 300 deals on there. Only two negatives from unreasonable people. All they have to do is contact me and I would have given their money back. O well, fvck em.

Don't give this seller squat. If you don't have enough balls to tell him "tough sheet", then give me his E-mail address and I'll send him a good message.

This is about as silly as someone going to Home Depot, purchasing a lawnmower in the spring and returning it in the fall because there was something they didn't like about it. Yes, this happens. Check out the mower section at your local HD - they have a few "reconditioned" mowers for sale everytime I've been in there. Also, one employee that I talked to in the garden section said they took back a gas-powered weed whacker after a year (and after it was beat to sheet.) People push things too far. I'd say one week would be realistic, but two months? Just say NO!

I had two dvd-ram drives laying around and i wanted to sell them, so I put them up on ebay. First line of each auction was in big red bold letters.
"THIS IS A DVD-RAM DRIVE, NOT A DVD-R,DVD-RW,DVD+R,DVD+RW DRIVE. IT WILL NOT BURN MOVIES THAT CAN BE PLAYED IN YOUR SET TOP DVD PLAYERS!"
I have gone through 4 auctions with each drive. Stupid people that can't read. After they buy they realize that it isn't what they want, so they don't pay. And the court fee's are too much to bother with it. Once I had the drive in the box, and shipped. I get home and get an e-mail from the buyer saying that he doesn't want it. He shipped it back and payed for both shippings, plus the auction fees. It is really frustrating. I finally sold one drive about a week ago, and it has been shipped and haven't heard a word from the buyer, of course he paid so it's all good. Just need to get rid of one more;)!
