I'm checking out a used Motherboard from Gumtree. Since Gumtree doesn't offer the same buyer protection as eBay, what steps can I take to ensure it works properly? The seller has a PC available for testing.

Consider having him assemble the whole system on the motherboard to test CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, all I/O, etc. If you can't manage that, rely on trusted sources. If you lack confidence, opt for purchasing from sites like Ebay where buyers are protected.

Contact the seller directly. Gumtree functions as a classified ad platform and doesn't offer buyer safeguards. You're essentially relying on the seller, and prices are typically set based on the item rather than guarantees.

I've noticed that on Gumtree and FB marketplace you can discover significantly better offers.

He already has a PC, should I request him to film the MOBO while it runs and then shift the camera to a screen to check its performance?

I’ve already contacted the seller, and they confirmed it will work. I just need to be sure everything is fine.

Try running CPU-Z and SS to verify all tabs display correctly on the motherboard, which should appear in the software.
