Really sorry to hear about your card OP. At this point you might as well take it apart and see what the damage is, always the chance it could be some simple surface components that got broken off. Feel free to post some detailed shots of the PCB here if you do.
 
Always keep in mind... it takes more time and effort to sell a piece of hardware online than it does to simply put it in a box and RMA it directly. So it's a safe bet the vast majority of people that claim they're too lazy to RMA it themselves yet are trying to sell it are already lying.

Can you get us a "from the side" view that shows this "bent PCB" they speak of?  It looks relatively fine... not that I'm saying eVGA isn't right, obviously they know better than the majority of people here when it comes to if the PCB was broken by the original owner or not... but yeah.

This is the best I could do, while trying to avoid the fisheye effect from my phone camera: https://imgur.com/a/2pDGG9l. There is a very slight bend, but that's the most I can say based on my limited expertise...

In the top picture you can see the bow in the PCB starting at the NV Link connector to the IO plate. The previous owner probably tried to straighten it out but you can still see evidence of it there. It doesn't look like a lot but it also doesn't take much to damage the fragile and sometimes hair thin traces in the PCB. Unfortunately some of the internal copper traces have probably been severed. Baking the card will not fix that. The baking trick is only to reflow solder that may have cracked or loosened it won't do anything for copper.
