did i get scammed ?

[OCD-FREAK]

so i just bought a cpu of ebay that kinda seemed too good to be true and the seller shipped it within a minute from my purchase (printed label and sent me the track number which says shipping label created), can you guys have a look at the listing tell me what you think ?

Its relatively easy to have automated label creation systems which includes tracking. Any business who can ship UPS/USPS/Fedex will generally create a label (with tracking) way before it actually leaves the facility.

I mean luckily its LGA so you don't have to worry about Pins being bent, it looks undamaged, however, the quickness is concerning, you wont really know until the package shows up if its a bad deal or not.

$145 USD is, if anything, on the high side of what 12400f's have recently been selling for.

If you paid with paypal even if it was a scam then you will get your money back basically no questions asked.

Creating the shipping label doesn't mean actually shipped. They probably happened to be at the computer when your purchase went through. 

I wouldn't call that price too good to be true. It's about average.

It's ebay - they favor the buyer everytime so you are safe regardless of the outcome

This add further to how quickly the label was printed, seeing as they had to be there to accept the offer so naturally its going to be quick.

Doesn't Ebay have the option to generate shipping labels upon winning an auction?  Since it has your address, it's a nice easy automated step that helps the seller out a lot.

 

Not seeing anything that seems too good to be true though.  

 

Looks like a CPU bought off Ebay. Enjoy.

ebay excluded paypal from their checkouts and seller has no returns accepted

eBay will tell you the order's "shipped" as soon as the seller generates a label, not when the package is actually handed off to the carrier.

 

It's probably fine. If not, eBay has very robust buyer protections. Don't worry about it until the package arrives.

It doesn't matter if the seller says "no returns", eBay can force their hand or give you your money back regardless. Their buyer protections are almost too good; they're easy for unscrupulous buyers to abuse. (They don't get caught until there's a pattern.)

No paypal is kinda iffy. But ebays protections are crazy advantageous for buyers. Wouldn't be the first seller to be scammed by the buyer on purpose

Seller isn't always bad either.  I got scammed when I sold a Limited Edition Mario 3DS, the buyer returned a Yoshi model to me which was worth less.  I reported this to eBay and got a full refund even though there was no real way for me to prove it.
