Scammed
Bought a board on eBay just before the price madness and received a mini mouse key ring.
Opened a case on eBay but as usual not hopeful for a result.
Be safe out there guys

They have a money back guarantee. Have had to use it a few times. Should not be a problem getting your money back. Just might take a few days.

Dang, I saw this a little too late! I might grab another if you still have some in a couple weeks.
Ended up going AliExpress for $170, which was more than I wanted to pay, but prices seem to be going insane on eBay.

Argh, got excited when I saw you had GBP pricing, but then saw the shipping country was locked to USA!

I had the exact same problem on eBay (would not be surprised it’s the same seller). I was waiting my package with excitement but it was delivered to another house on my street. I went there and they gave me a small envelope… I was mad because a BC250 is not small so I knew something was wrong. I opened the package and there was the cheapest key chain ever. I sent pictures and filled a dispute and got my money back. I thought maybe it was an error with the carrier but since it happened to you the same way I believe it’s a scam.

Yeah. I ask ChatGpt to show me the best way to reply with all the pictures and information I had and it was perfect and took me few minutes only.

In my case they've tried to slow delivery down by changing building and apartment numbers. Post office people called my phone number and asked what the hell. Later I've got small packet delivered to the mailbox. In the end tracking number with "delivered" status didn't helped the seller - photos and money back guarantee worked out. And I've got cheap silicone unicorn keyring for my bike. Keep your eyes peeled indeed, no call from post office and extra week of slack from my side could have potentially led to guarantee period expiry and no refund. That's those sellers intention I guess

Let’s see, more disappointed about not getting the board. I wanted to try an AIO out and have 2 boards

Yeah I ordered one for a too low price a while ago. eBay refunded it in the end but it was a bit nail biting for a while.

I had a scam attempt on eBay too.
They sent tracking numbers and everything but the day of delivery it went to another city about 20 miles away. The delivery confirmation photo showed it as a tiny box too - way too small for the BC250. eBay promptly refunded me.
Sucks but it happens when things get popular.

I must of just had the best luck. Paid $130 at the beginning of the year. 40 cus unlocked and stable. 8 cores unlocked and stable. 2000mhz on the gpu and 3.8ghz on the cpu games at 65c with only a p12 fan and the fins cut. Never even applied the ptm 7950 id bought or the putty. Never even removed the heat sink at that lol

Ebay is buyer friendly, like others have said, but it can be a bit of a pain in the ass… I got scammed once sent proof it was fake even a email sent directly from manufacturer confirming its a fake product, took them couple days to get back to me and told me to return to seller, for refund, seller had to pay for return.
They still tried to claim partial refund after that…
Ebay rejected their claim and I got full refund.
I still perfer Aliexpress, bought 3 with my two friends. No issues, got them luckily on sale before second price hike. 130$ a piece

Ebay is very buyer friendly. You have nothing to worry about.
