Yesterday I bought a mobo-cpu-ram set. The CPU was supposed to be a QX9770. I collected it from the seller’s home, got his phone number, and had a short conversation. He said it was working and checked... I felt confident until I didn’t remove the cooler right away. At home I took out the cooler only to discover an E8200 inside. I quickly sent a message with a photo to the seller, who apologized and offered a refund. Now when I asked about returning the items, he accused me of swapping the CPU, forcing me to involve the police. My question is: what exactly was in the system when it was first turned on? What were its BIOS specifications? I never powered it up before, and the last person did that. Without a way to confirm the original model wasn’t present, it’s hard for me. Please help me understand this situation—anyone with expertise would be really appreciated.

He proposed a refund, which would mark the conclusion.

Yesterday he acted, but now accusations are emerging. Or are you referring to a legal standpoint?

I’m not familiar with any country’s regulations, so you’ll need to verify it yourself. However, providing a refund previously suggested you intended to return the item.

Did you browse eBay? Which platform did you access? It’s not possible to verify the last BIOS boot from the system, though Windows may record it.

It seems you're facing a tough situation with no evidence and a single-sided argument. Paying in cash might not protect you from PayPal buyer safeguards either.

How did you finance this purchase? Next time you encounter someone wanting to buy something, ask them to try it out in a busy public spot—like a police station or a place with lots of customers, such as Starbucks. This way, you can see if it works before committing. Many people have been targeted or harmed by trying to buy something in an unsafe location without verification.
