well either way this dude is probably gonna leave negative feedback even if I do refund his money.
If that's the justification that you tell yourself to make it ok in your head then why did you even make this thread?
Were you hoping that we'd all pat you on the back and tell you that you did the right thing?

not at all...
Just saying that either way, whatever decision I make will negatively impact me.
some people are saying refund, some are saying no refund. In the end I've stated that I will refund because of my negligence to check for and mention missing pins.
Don't flatter yourself either, I don't need a pat on the back from someone with 30k posts on a message board.

Jesus, he paid $40 for an untested chip with bent pins? Hahaha. You failed to mention the missing pins (if in fact they were missing and the buyer didn't end up breaking them off or something, unintentionally or not) but considering you said the processor was untested, had bent pins, and was being shipped "as-is", I probably would not refund the money. But that would also be the last time I sell crap like that on eBay.
I wouldn't throw it away, but eBay probably isn't the place for stuff like this.Originally posted by: Cdubneeddeal
Lesson learned. Don't try to off your junk on eBay. It's junk, throw it away!

it came to $40 US + S&H

I did not notice any missing pins when I had shipped it out, however I was not looking for any missing pins, all I stated is that many of the pins were bent, which they were.
So now the buyer wants a refund.
I'm in a bit of a dilema because I did not mis-represent my auction, I did not say 100% working when I wasn't sure, I said untested, and stated the condition of it.
The only thing is the missing pins fiasco... I did not see any missing pins on the processor before shipping it (however I could have missed that), and for all I know he could have removed them.
That's what I was thinking as well. I'd like to see the auction, but OP hasn't provided a link yet. Maybe it's incriminating.Originally posted by: pontifex

Since you don't know one way or the other about the missing pins, you may unintentionally have misrepresented the item. As others have said, missing pins is a big difference from bent pins.
Since you aren't sure, a refund is the ethical choice.

Trust him or don't. It's your call and I'd respect the decision either way.

You screwed up, refund his money. A CPU with bent pins might be servicable, one with missing points can only become a keychain.

So I ended up auctioning an AMD processor on ebay, the processor was not tested and had bent pins.
This was stated in big bold letters on the second line of the auction, it was also a .99 cent auction (not expecting to get much for it)
It was also stated in my auction that the chip was as-is and no warranties were implied or intended.
Some douchebag from texas ends up winning it, I send it off to him, and he starts complaining that it doesn't work and there are 2 missing pins.
I did not notice any missing pins when I had shipped it out, however I was not looking for any missing pins, all I stated is that many of the pins were bent, which they were.

what would be the best way to deal with this situation?
