LOL, this is why I decided not to sell my card. I agree that scalpers are bad, but would you view me selling my slightly used 3090 at rrp as scalping? A lot of people would but I would only sell it if I managed to get a lower tier card (which I was originally aiming for) at rrp and didn't want to be out of pocket on the 3090. What about a slight markup to cover the other things I got scalped on, like my psu and ram? I considered that too, but it's a horrible situation all around and I decided I don't want to get involved, I'm just happy I got my pc built at all.
Anyway I just wanted to warn any honest sellers using the auction site that you might get ripped off by an angry buyer, PP transactions are easily reversible and you won't get your hardware back. The true scalpers can get f'd I hope they do get the transactions reversed.
Yup that I don't think many/any will have issue with those sort of scenarios.
I'm referring more to the people who already have what they want/need but are actively going out of their way to scalp by buying new sims, setup new email accounts and so on to get around the limitations etailers have placed. Surprised more etailers haven't blocked by IPs as well, although obviously easy enough to get around that too but every little bit helps!
If I had bought something from a scalper on ebay (the kind whos sell history is multiple high end GPUs etc. for well over what they paid), I personally would fully intend on abusing the chargeback but I wouldn't say it didn't arrive, I would just return something that is worth the MSRP of purchased said item back so maybe a 390x or something going by todays prices
Hmmm, there's a thought, might have to start posting a full on step by step guide on how to screw over scalpers on ebay! Get it on all the main sub-reddits and watch as scalpers panic and start to see threads popping up on here
