    However if you have retested it and it is working, you can

    a.) explain and do nothing - and take the inevitable negative feedback

    b.) Make him an offer - perhaps his return postage - and risk some negative feedback

    c.) Refund him the £29 and hope you don't get negative feedback.


    Your call.
    d) Suggest him to buy a new PSU (give him a list of suggestion) and if it still doesn't work, give him the refund.

    exactly, 16a won't even power my 6600gt agp card... let alone a card so many generations off that one I can't remember. I take a pic of the serial no#, and the card working in my system before it's sent off.
