What i find interesting is this seems new to the writer. Ive had amazon 15+ years. This is not isolated it happens all the time. Its happened to me. Its a catch me if you can and if you catch us we will take the return but if you dont we scammed another paying customer.

Yes amazon sells returns as new. That is why i stopped buying new hardware from them 5 years ago. They once were a trustworthy company they had ethics. This is about amazon not a isolated video card it applies to tvs etc.

If you want something new do not buy from them. Ebay used to be scam central but amazon morphed into that role yeah s ago just sorry this new user was suckered.

Its amazon not anyone else do not buy anything new from them and expect its really new and not someones return

This type of fraud isn’t new. There have been reports about this happening on amazon.de for 5+ years, especially with CPUs.

That looks like it was done in transit.

Pete, as I understand it:
“Sold by” denotes who gets the payment.
“Shipped by” indicates whose final warehouse handed off to the carrier.
So on a shared ASIN (which may or may not apply in the present case), sold-by means AMZN gets the $$ for the sale, and shipped-by means from an AMZN warehouse, yet could be from a tote full of the same ASIN, stocked-in from who-knows-where.
But it looks like even for an AMZN-specific ASIN, their returns process raises further concerns.

I once bought a book from Amazon as part of a larger batch of books.

The book in question had been shipped separately from the batch as it came from a different warehouse.

The book arrived in a box with little packaging inside. The box was intact but nicely creased on 1 side. The book had a completely broken paper link between the spine and the endpaper that is pasted to the cardboard cover. Perhaps it was damaged in the warehouse or damaged when delivered to my home.

I found such damage extremely difficult to believe until I reviewed my security camera footage of that delivery. Yes, the Amazon driver had tossed the book onto my front door threshold from 6 feet away. I did not know that “social distancing” applied to delivering a box.

Amazon was very smooth in handling the return & replacement as I was an Amazon Prime customer at that time. I guess Prime membership is good for a few things, eh?

The moral of this story is, don’t buy anything important from Amazon. (Or anything at all, really).
