Moral dilema. What would you do?

Don't offer insurance. Just up postage and buy insurance regardless. Far far less hassle for you. It's not worth posting without insurance.

As he has left you positive feedback I wouldn't refund.
 
Sounds like he has knackered it, language he using etc does'nt sound right. You dont wait that long before trying something from eBay.

I would'nt refund anything.
 
Yep, sounds like he bent them and is trying to say it came like that. Tell him to sod off.
 
If he tried a core 2 duo (which I know is LGA775) and then tried a Pentium 1.7Gig - were these ever LGA775?? (sorry new to Intel, been me love AMD for long time!) :), I htought the Pentium 1.7's were 478 or even 423?? (looks like the only chip at 1.7 to fit would be a core 2 duo, therefore if he has damaged it, that might have been when he tried to get it to run with a 1.7 gig pentium!!)

The board was packed in all it original packaging except the pin cover. Having said that the board was in a anti static bag and the pin area was cover buy the boxes internal cardboard packaging so unless he's jammed his finger in there I don't know how it could have got damaged.
Aye, it would likely have been obvious on receipt if the box had sustained enough damage for that.
 
Hang on, you sent an Intel board WITHOUT bothering to put the pin protector in place? The pin protector isnt there for a laugh, it does a job.

You failed to package the item correctly, it is therefore your fault it is now damaged.

Be a man. Refund the guy.
 
1) You sold a working product.
2) You didn't offer a returns policy
3) He left positive feedback

On the strength of 2), he has no right to return it to you. Goods sold as seen and all that stuff. The fact he left positive feedback is the most damning for him.

If you get a package in the post from him, refuse to sign for it. It's not your problem. Don't refund.
 
I call BS from the buyer. If he was that desperate to get hold of the board

This is a pity as This was the board I wanted

...then he wouldn't have waited 16 days or whatever to test it out. I've been known to be miss many things in case the postman turns up, such is my excitement. As a ''PC Engineer'', I'm sure he was of the same mindset had he been genuine.

Oh come on, get real! How many people actually keep those things anyway!!!

Seriously, the guy who bought it has done it himself - it's far too obvious, and therefore he deserves nothing

Not used ebay however how can you sell a working product which turns out not to be working and then offer no returns

Not really sold as seen so therefore there has to be some sort of returns if it was broken in transit etc?
