If you're looking for PC power supply on ebay and you
come across a Dynex, big quiet fan, PCI-E, SATA, 24
pin for cheap from 2213Joseph. "New in Box!" Don't buy
it. You'll get the Dynex box alright and a new PS but
it's just a run of the mill, noisy, substandard unit.
No SATA, no PCI-E etc.
This is such an obvious fraud it makes me wonder at
his 100% positive feedback.
I've started a dispute with Paypal against him.
Just to add to your other replies, it is just possible this is an
honest mistake.
From what you've told us it's possible that the seller didn't look
inside the box and assumed it was a new PSU, after their spouse
tidied the old one up into an empty box. Certainly, I always keep
packaging in case I need to make a warranty return, and in the case
that a PC is just misbehaving, with random reboots & stuff, the first
thing I do is replace the PSU, keeping the old one in case that makes
no difference.
I would email the seller in the first instance & see what they have
to say. If, as a seller, I found I had made such a mistake, I would
send you a refund or replacement immediately. As a buyer I wouldn't
be prepared to pay the cost of shipping the duff component back to
the seller, and wouldn't expect the seller to insist on that. If the
seller isn't prepared to accommodate you then give them a negative
feedback - a scammer with several negs will be quickly obvious from
their feedback score, and will quickly lose sales. I personally
wouldn't have high expectations of the "buyer protection" offered by
fleaBay or ThievingScumPal.
