If I were to buy a graphics card new from ebay would it still qualify for warranty or do I need to buy from a authorized retailer?

    You would get the second hand warranty as long as the card wasn’t damaged prior to sale. There have been cards that were damaged and then sold, albeit as a used product, and then many people tried to RMA the damaged card because no one wanted to take the loss. I highly suggest purchasing through an authorized retailer unless you absolutely have to buy from eBay.

    Appreciate it. I plan on waiting but ive seen a few 3090 auctions go for not much over 100 MSPR and its been slowly going down, figured ill be seen some go for MSRP soon.

    There are only a few authorized dealers from EVGA that also have an EBAY store. That would be your best bet , not the 3rd party, private sellers .

    Some resellers who have a website also have an Ebay store. Check and make sure the products being sold are new. 

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    some links on Warranty & Options - that are Only available to the Original Owner
     
    Second Owner -- Non-Authorized retailer /reseller : Warranty Does Not start the day you bought the card --> warranty starts the day EVGA originally Shipped the card

    I have had great experiences with EVGA warranties regardless of the source
