I got scammed by a seller on TE

This is the shops website: https://bigmarttraders.business.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral
@Ir0nMerc contact them and mail them the invoice for verification purpose.
I didn't receive the GPU so it's of no use to me. I can't verify any details. If the serial number was right or not. etc.

@Ir0nMerc do contact shiprocket. Give them the tracking number and request them for the shipping label. I think seller entered a wrong or inadequate address for you purposefully. You'll also get his address on it. Post it here.
I have his address and we can also get the address from any TE seller who sold some items to him.

You not getting it. Tell them that someone is selling a used gpu on this bill & ask if its a genuine one or not by verifying in their database. If they ask for owner details give them sellers info.
If you are thinking to file a case then this will act as an strong evidence.

I am thinking... why would he fake only number and not the whole invoice if he has to fake it. If that's the case then the shop owner will deny any bill on that name. No?
 
I just went through the fine print of shiprocket T&C for insurance and it clearly states second hand items won't qualify for insurance.....also just my one take for insurance on shiprocket....i would say that insure the item for price of new always as it is in market.

Ridiculous. Typical weasel clause. Why not ask the sender to choose how much coverage is based on what they think the value is. Too much overhead so they decided to do away with it.

If the invoice does not match brand new price they reject saying its in their T's & C's
 
I think the seller knew everything and tried to scam here, When he received the package back how could he not know that it was opened and repacked? The sad part of this deal is how he wasted buyers time and kept his hope alive for refund.
P.S. Once I had a bad deal but both of us acted maturely and it was an experience I would like to share even now. here is it what I am talking about https://techenclave.com/threads/cor...ws-2x8gb-wd-4tb-purple-hd.197088/post-2268465

Left is the picture he sent me that I have packed the GPU and waiting for pickup. Right is the one he claim he received it back.

I don't know how stupid a person has to be, to not know that both the packages are different and he should not have accepted it. That's why I said earlier that I can't comment on authenticity of the unboxing video of returned package.

I think it's safe to assume that he didn't send the GPU at all.


Get the address he entered for you. My guess is, he entered wrong address from the start.
Yes, that's possible. I could not see his profile anymore otherwise I would have contacted some sellers to verify his address. Sellers he both the item from.

He shipped the wind chimes expecting it won't really reach you.
Unless he can prove it otherwise, I am assuming whatever he sent in the package, he got it back.

The moral of the this unfortunate story is Do Not use Shiprocket.
I wouldn't completely push the blame on Shiprocket. The thing is Shiprocket was started to help small ecom sites (startups) who doesn't have large number of orders and so they can't afford to get in contract with big courier companies. Shiprocket has specifically mentioned it that they don't offer services for used/2nd hand products.

When I asked the seller why they denied the claim. This is what he wrote. They denied it because..

At first he didn't tell me that it was denied because of product being suspected as used. But after I read the email carefully and asked if they can't insure the delivery of a used product then why did they insure it in the first place. At which the seller pushed the whole blame on Shiprocket that it's a scammy practice.

Scammy practice. Really? Or maybe he failed to declare the item being used at the time of hiring Shiprocket for shipping. Although later he admitted that he didn't read Shiprocket's terms about used products. But still don't want to accept any fault.

Now, we can blame Shiprocket all we want but in my opinion (and I may be wrong) why would Shiprocket accept the liability of an item they specifically mentioned they would not ship. Of course we can blame them for not verifying but I don't know how many courier companies actually do that. They only ask what's in it and they take our words for it. That's been my experience with courier companies. You may have different experience.

Ask admins for help now. He's banned here.
Yep. I will do that. Thanks.
 
Yeah, maybe it's not entirely Shiprocket,'s fault, just diving deep into your situation, something does smell fishy.

Those packages look different, the former have lot more protection then the first. I doubt these are the same. Now the question arise when he received the product did he record a video of unboxing? If he did then he knew that there is something wrong because you don't record video unless you are not sure of the package that you packed few days back.
 
Greetings to all. Back in August, I did buy a GPU from the seller. However, in my experience, I encountered no obstacles. The deal went smoothly, and I got the card as promised.

Yes but the key question is what does your invoice say -
 
did the original courier receipt have weight printed? & is that weight match with Graphic Card?
Courier companies rarely mention accurate weight as far as i know.

Anyway, shocking thread and disturbing behavior from TE member/ seller of the product.
OP, pl confirm address for the courier. If wrong or incomplete address was given then it swings needle to wrong intentions of seller ( which i doubt would be the case. And i hope TE member wouldnt go such a low level of conspiring to con another member).

It also can be possible that the seller never packed any gpu inside if he had cruel intentions..
They will charge you only after checking the weight so for me its always accurate
Yeah, while booking it gives option to enter package dimensions to ascertain volumetric rate. Minor difference is accepted but anything major then additional charges get levied..

Funny thing is banned members keep browsing TE...possibly tracking their threads :tearsofjoy:

Ofcourse they check the weight. But rarely bother to mention accurate details on the receipt. e.g. if weight is 0.4 kg and their minimum wt category is say 1kg then they often mention 1kg only. Dont know about concerned courier company though.
It also can be possible that the seller never packed any gpu inside if he had cruel intentions..
I highly doubt it, considering good track record of said member (if at all it was the case, i havent checked it), otherwise it would be grave conspiracy with wrong intentions.
Thats why i said, wrong delivery address if at all found out, will make things clear easily. Hope OP can find that out from courier company.
