eBay moron

[Howard]

Yeah got renamed from rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish to Moron? Don't know why.. I've seen words such as 'cock' and 'piss' in a title before iirc.

rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish is a derrogatory term for a particular part of a female's body, and it's considered rude. "Moron" is considerably less rude



I'm with smtkr, I work with quite a casual approach when inside PCs and I've never broken anything as a result. I've even TRIED to kill a computer with static/removing parts (even memory/processor) while the thing was still on, and it didn't destroy anything!

This chavvy little twerp is pulling a fast one

really you need lots of info about what his computer is maybe his board has a different agp standard maybe it doesnt take agp. If he wont give oyu the info thats his fault if he doesnt
know then get photos.

It's a PCI card not AGP.

Would you actually be able to see in pictures if there is any damage though?


Side note; he hasn't sent me any more messages, yet.

Has he got onboard graphics?

You did tell him you weren't around around until 5pm. Wait for the floodgates to open...

There is one flaw though.. what if he has blown it? It was in perfect working order when I had it, it was in an anti-static bag and everything. The only way it could of blown is if he did it.


If it is genuinely blown though and he sends it back, then I don't exactly want to give a refund because he has blown it. But if it is working then yeah..

Yes that is the flaw, but it's where you cross the line from being a generous ebayer to a defensive by the letter type of ebayer. I just bought something from someone who went out of their way to burn drivers and such like onto CDs for me, when they didn't have to at all. Now I will definately buy something from them again without hesitation and will recommend him to others.

Honestly, it is fairly hard to blow a gfx card unless you are really clumsy - and there is no way you can really prove that it wasn't damaged in the post. If you get the card back have a good look at it's physical condition - postal damage can be visual. If it's physically ok, but there are electrical problems in your rig then maybe he did something to it, I don't know if there's a way to tell. Either way I would as a courtesy to customers always give them the benefit of the doubt. Chances are it will work fine in your computer.

However, you seem to be a by the letter type ebayer and you did clearly state on the ebay page 'no refunds' and sold 'as is'. That would be enough to put me off (but you still sold it for a good price, fluke)

Not sure, shall ask that once he messages me.

Fair enough lol, it's 20 past and still no messages .

Yeah. Well I guess I could give the benefit of the doubt, but the way things are looking it just seems like this guy is either an idiot or trying to rip me off.

[schmunk]

To be fair to this guy, I bought a gfx card from a forum and it arrived b0rked - it overheated like nobodys and then hung the PC.

We had a lot of back and forth about this, and I eventually sent it back and got a refund. He tried it and it didn't work for him either. He took the cooler off and re-seated it (something I wasn't prepared to do, as otherwise I wouldn't have a leg to stand on) and it worked, i.e. it *had* been damaged in the post.

All ended well, but at the time he though I was messing him around.

Yep he does sound like an idiot, but I think the internet has a habit of making people come accross like that. Maybe your first reply should have been 'sorry, I don't understand, please could you rephrase that in english?' *insert elderly rant about language skills and respect* Of course, you could say you're about to lose internet connections and could he please continue correspondance via the Royal Mail

[XA04]

Haha.

Well thanks for the posts guys, I've got some things going in my head for the next time he replies (he hasn't yet!) and for what I need to write in a letter if PayPal or eBay contact me.

im willing to bet his tech guy (assuming there is one) has come round and fixed the problem, and you'll never have to deal with that cock again

[Norky]

Come on lads, let's sort the language out. It wasn't acceptable in the thread title and it shouldn't be acceptable in the thread.

Possibly, but I thought he was lieing about the tech guy - if not then that's probably true.

[headbrace]

I've been reading this with a fair degree of interest, it'll be fun to see how it all turn out.

Can I reiterate Norky's comments about the Language please, there is a degree to which some language is acceptable, but now it seems to have descended quite severely.

Sort it out chaps,

Cheers

[sybrows]

I want him to reply now after reading the thread from start to present.... But I reckon his three yr old sister has told him that the goldeny edge of the card goes in the slot on the big green board, and hopefully taught him how to spell in the process.
