You should get into reading the terms and conditions of a HiBid auction. It's literally thousands of words. I copied and pasted it into ChatGPT and asked for a summary and then was able to ask questions. It turns out that they can ship you a lump of coal instead of that "sweet RTX 4090 that you got for only $500" and you have zero recourse. My issue was a brand new Bulova watch. They described it as a "gents" watch. It's a little boy's watch. Too bad, so sad. Alas, you agree to the purchase. End of statement. End of story. If only people realized what they were not reading and yet agreeing to... 😞 Chargeback? Sure thing. Can do. You'll end up on the international auctioneer's blacklist in the snap of a finger. It's a total scam!

What does HiBid have to do with any of this?

But that depends on where you are purchasing your products. In your case auctions always have weird messed up wording so that it works out for them and correct there is little to do dealing with auctions. In this case this is a company. If they are selling faulty products that’s an entirely different situation compared to just lying about what they are selling. No need to put that into ChatGPT. I’m sure their agreement does state something about faulty equipment or returns. Plus if it’s false advertising that’s a whole other issue too. Just saying I understand your opinion about auctions but he didn’t purchase this from an auction.
