People actually buy anything on Wish.com ? I looked once for some USB cables iirc and it all looked so sketchy I just avoided it entirely. AliExpress is also funky sometimes, but I generally just go straight to Baseus and UGreen which are more reliable Chinese brand names for chargers and cables.

 

I don't buy graphic cards used, there is no way I'll ever buy one on Wish.com where they want to scam you with cables already.

Customer Protection Levels in my head

 

Amazon = FBI at your door

Ebay = CIA at your door

Wish = Basket of kittens at your door

My brother bought a card off ebay that was supposed to be a GTX 1060, it looked exactly like one of the cards in the video. Also turned out to be a GTS 450.

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

Chinese reverse engineered chipsets. So much for copyright law.
