^hes saying the buyer can claim the box with the same serial number arrived, but was empty.
ie: you ship me a gpu i bought via ebay/paypal. it arrives but the box is empty, except for a 2lb paperweight (about what the gpu would have weighed). i send ebay/paypal a photo of the paperweight sitting inside a box that has the advertised serial number. clearly you shipped the advertised box, but theres no way to prove that it contained a gpu and not a paperweight
I was a power seller on ebay. There are 3 or 4 more buyer scams that the seller can not stop.
I no longer sell much on ebay.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=philipma1957this is my feedback above.
I stopped selling expensive items a year or two ago.
I sold a mining pc when btc was mined with gpus.
Buyer was cute tried a return with 2 dead gpus. He did not realize I had all serial numbers taken.
He said that he got 2 cards with serial numbers different then I sent.
He had 3 feedbacks I had 1000+ feedbacks. With 0 neutral and 0 negative.
Ebay said I could not prove that the serial numbers on the good cards were ever sent to him.
He won. I followed up for 3 months and they caved in and gave me 250 in ebucks as a courtesy to a power buyer /seller.
I do not sell much anymore. I still buy but sell very little.
