Just to add to your other replies, it is just possible this is an |
| 16 |
honest mistake. |

From what you've told us it's possible that the seller didn't look |
| 19 |
inside the box and assumed it was a new PSU, after their spouse |
| 20 |
tidied the old one up into an empty box. Certainly, I always keep |
| 21 |
packaging in case I need to make a warranty return, and in the case |
| 22 |
that a PC is just misbehaving, with random reboots & stuff, the first |
| 23 |
thing I do is replace the PSU, keeping the old one in case that makes |
| 24 |
no difference. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I would email the seller in the first instance & see what they have |
| 27 |
to say. If, as a seller, I found I had made such a mistake, I would |
| 28 |
send you a refund or replacement immediately. As a buyer I wouldn't |
| 29 |
be prepared to pay the cost of shipping the duff component back to |
| 30 |
the seller, and wouldn't expect the seller to insist on that. If the |
| 31 |
seller isn't prepared to accommodate you then give them a negative |
| 32 |
feedback - a scammer with several negs will be quickly obvious from |
| 33 |
their feedback score, and will quickly lose sales. I personally |
| 34 |
wouldn't have high expectations of the "buyer protection" offered by |
| 35 |
fleaBay or ThievingScumPal. |
