Title: Sapphire 580 Nitro+ 8GB labeled incorrectly??!!
Post by: skinsfan0521 on February 21, 2018, 12:22:45 AM
Hi,

I recently got a shipment of Sapphire 580 Nitro+ 8GB cards in. The box is for an 8GB card, the serial number (on the box and on the card itself) says that they're 8GB, but the card only shows up as 4GB when connected. There are at least a handful that are this way, but they all haven't been opened yet. Has anybody ever seen this before??

These are from a very reputable nationwide supplier, so it's not like I bought them in some sketchy deal or anything.

Thanks!

EDIT:: I'd like to add that I sold these cards on ebay and the buyer is telling me that this is the case. I'm skeptical, which is why I'm posting on here to see if others have seen anything similar ever before and especially in the more recent shipments of Sapphire Nitro+ cards. Thanks

You got scammed. If the transaction is within eBay's money back guarantee 30 day after delivery window, unless you can drag the buyer to say something in the dispute that proves he's trying to scam you, which they are under no obligation to even communicate with you, eBay will allow the 'buyer' to return the 'item they claim they received' for a 100% refund and you pay the shipping both ways. It's too easy for ANYONE to file a fraudulent return under any false pretense they can imagine. That's the reality of selling high risk items on eBay.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I'm no stranger to ebay and selling high risk items, but I wanted to see if anybody has ever heard of this situation before. I find it to be extremely unlikely that tons of them got shipped out this way. Again, I just wanted to see if anybody has ever experienced this type of
 (alleged) situation with cards.

Thanks!
