A year and a half ago, selling a video card on eBay was basically the same as paying someone to punch you in the face. It was as likely you'd get an INAD and eat the loss as anything else. So when I had one to sell, I sold it on FB Marketplace, and meeting in person for that much money didn't feel a lot less sketchy but at least it was in public and I could count the money.

Now, I want to replace a Nvidia card with an AMD one and that leaves me selling the Nvidia. It would be extremely convenient to sell it on eBay, but I'm looking for some perspective on whether the buyer protection scams have died down for video cards over there now that the shortage has passed, or if it's still basically a waste of time.

It does. I haven’t been willing to risk selling any of my gadgets there for years. Who wants to go through the hassle. You might have better luck on a place like https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/ .

Apparently they are using discord now, and I might give it a shot. Might not be a bad idea to link that in the sidebar here.

I wonder if it's worth the extra cost to ship. Will have to investigate more.

I've nothing but good experiences with that subreddit.

I'm not well versed in discord, but I may have to check it out.

It's one of the subreddits I was most sad to see fall to reddit's nonsense.
