eBay buyer claims CPU is DOA when I tested it prior to shipping

[[BP] Sir. Regretti]

Fight it mate eBay has sided with me before when I sold my old q6600 but claimed in was broken I provided photo evidence of working with benchmarks on the listing

 

he refused to send it back when I requested it even offered to send him a shipping lable

 

will agree thier are some total idiots out thier I doubt he would tamper with a 24 dollar CPU

Cheers mate! But unfortunately I fear that eBay has now changed and mostly sides with their buyers rather than the sellers. This means that even if I have proof, I will most likely lose and when I do, the buyer would get a refund, and get to keep the CPU, and I get a bad record, meaning that I have stained my eBay record, which even though I dont sell much on eBay, I would like to have a good record so that when I sell something else, I would be able to sell it.

Fight it at least if you have proof

Remember, he has to provide proof. As I said I've learned that recently so you'll be fine.

The only proof I have are the photos of the CPU itself. I didn't take photos of the CPU booting to the BIOS and the OS because I didn't think this would happen, so at this point, both me and him are kinda on even grounds, but eBay would favor the buyer over the seller, so that would mean that I instantly lose the case. That's why I'm thinking about just accepting the return even though i know that it can be potentially a scammer. I'm mainly just looking for the way that minimizes the headaches that i will get.

Don't accept the return, keep on asking him to provide proof of the problem.

make him return it again or hell do it again

Whatever you do, don't let him keep it. It just encourages this kind of crap to keep happening. The picture should be enough proof to determine if you get the same one back.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

[glitchmaster0001]

The buyer finally provided proof of the CPUs via pictures and a video. I guess the CPU really was DOA, so i issued him a full refund and let him keep it since I don't need to waste anymore money on shipping for a dead CPU. 

[glitchmaster0001]

and also, even after i issued him the refund, he still left negative feedback. What an asshole....
