Selling to Cex Online

pob1976

Just a word of warning, I sold 9 x 1gb micro sd cards to Cex online the other day and they all worked ok. Today I received 3 x cards that they class as faulty. They were all fine and packed in bubble rap. Be careful if your trying to sell a few items as you may get less than you hope for.

Just a couple of possibilities (as 'faulty' might cover a few things...)

Could any of them have been fakes? (especially if bought off ebay)
Could they have picked up viruses from a computer?

cex are proper rip off merchants.

i run a similar shop and hear horror stories of what they offer people, and try and charge for certain things.

unfortunately its the first, and in a lot of cases the only place that people go to trade stuff in.

if i ever get anyone moan about what i offer them, i suggest they go to cex as i know they'll be offered less in most cases. on the rare occasion i get "but cex offered me more", but it then transpires that they didn't actually offer them cash, which is why they've come back to me.

Hi there, they were original Sandisk cards and were formated and used wiping software. I think they swapped them, I should have marked them with UV light pen.
