Uhhh, I know you mentioned it's refurbished but you should also take note that the seller profile is new. Like, actually recent new - and the seller is from Hong Kong.

If one could use PayPal (for anti scam features) on Amazon I would've jumped on that... Hate Amazon for that

Does Amazon not have some sort of buyer protection?

Yes, Amazon has a great buyer protection. It's called their A to Z Guarantee. I don't know what these guys are talking about regarding PayPal... not to mention, every major credit card company has to refund you the money if you do not receive the product. 

 

With that said, everything about this deal screams SCAM!!!!!

i kinda agree with the last part

[aisle9]

1. New seller

2. Hong Kong

3. Long shipping timeline

 

Bet you anything the seller's answer to, "Where is my GPU?" on Feb. 6th would be, "listing say 8 febuary, please call back if not receive, thanks you for patience." Total scam.

 

Their game is quite likely to send you a card that's beat to hell and barely working, then when it arrives and you ask about a refund because it's trashed, they point to "Used" in the description. They'll  explain that because the card was working when they shipped it and offer to either give you a full refund after you ship the card back on your own dime, or a partial refund and you keep the card. Your choice. Amazon will back the seller in that situation more often than not, because the 50% refund the seller is offering is more than reasonable, right? Never mind that the seller now has $130 of your money in exchange for a GPU that doesn't work.

 

And if you do choose to mail it back? "i no receive gtx. no refund until card receive in same condition it sent in." Prepare yourself for two months of that followed by a claim from the seller against you alleging that you damaged the card yourself and/or sent back a different one.

 

I'm not being racist or xenophobic or insensitive or whatever in my example quotes. Those are all very much along the lines of things I've seen written, back in a somewhat recent past when I'd troll various sites for incredible deals that I could easily flip.

I've seen this a lot lately while looking at used and refurbished GPUs on Amazon. And yes, most are new sellers. Some will tell you to email them BEFORE buying the item. What's up with that?

"because we free shipping, please allow up to 60 days for package to arrive. please understand we cannot ship fast because of how much it cost. please consider before buy card. thank you for patience."

 

They'll generate a shipping label, but never ship anything. By the time you've finally wised up and filed an A-to-Z claim against the seller for not delivering their goods, they've long since transferred that money into another account and left Amazon behind. Or maybe they're hoping that you just forgot about the item, if it's a smaller-dollar thing, they might even be banking on most of their victims just forgetting about the item entirely and not even thinking to file a claim.

 

The best way to avoid this is to stick to FBA items. If the item is coming to you from an Amazon-owned warehouse, the odds are pretty strongly stacked in your favor when it comes to actually getting your stuff. If you do see an unbeatable deal out there in the wild, but it's coming in from China, proceed with extreme caution. Look for lots of positive seller feedback, but look at the time that feedback was left, too. It's not the least bit unusual for a seller to pop up, "sell" hundreds of items within a couple weeks, get a ton of positive feedback, then hit the "con" button and continue pulling in money, but not sending anything out. Where's that positive feedback coming from? Other sellers that are in on the racket, maybe even the seller themselves creating tons of accounts and "buying" large quantities of goods from themselves.

 

Beyond looking for consistently good (but not perfect) feedback spread over the course of six months to a year, the common sense alarm comes into play. If common sense tells you that a $27-0 GTX 1080 from a new seller in Hong Kong is too good to be true, it is.

Seems like a great deal, but also seems super sketch. I never buy from "just launched" people on Amazon who have their prices ridiculously low from every other price. If you buy it, and if it's legit, good for you, but I don't want to risk anything.

[Shog]

I really don't mind. I find it fun f****** over these foreign people trying to scam people out of money. Unfortunately I don't think I'll win this one and Amazon or my credit card company might just eat the loss. If they do at least I might help spread the wealth in foreign country who, quite frankly, could use it more than my credit card company. Out of the majority of the scams I end up getting my money back and keeping an entirely nonfunctional piece of junk. One time the Chinese guy actually wanted me to ship it back to them. I paid $40+ to send them their $1.3 piece of junk. They weren't happy to see I shipped it with legitimate internal tracking in China, it didn't matter when they said they never got it back, I got the full money from them. 

Who knows, maybe if enough of us give these shadies our credit cards/amazon money they might one day start a real business  Hahahaha...
