Post the stolen card serial numbers so people know upfront… just like you guys should post the serial numbers of cards affected by poor soldering,”new world” issue.

I think this is the answer. 
 
The SN are not valid for warranty or Elite or anything, so just post them. This way, a buyer can dump it in a google sheet and do a quick search when buying (either in person or before if the seller will send it to them). If the seller gets weird or balks, walk.

the_Scarlet_oneDo you really, truly, actually think that eBay and PayPal don’t have the sellers information? Really? I honestly can’t tell if you are joking or serious at this point, because everything you have said this far shows that you know little to nothing about any of this process…

Probably identity theft and money mules doesn't exist in your world.

toyboarderLiterally the only one that suffers from this are people that buy

And most unfair thing: seller didn't adequately protect possessions, as result it was stolen. So, seller partially responsible for accident. Buyer doesn't know and can't know that he buying stolen goods off eBay/marketplace/Craigslist. But in the end goods will be returned to seller and buyer will left without anything. I talking in general how system works, not particular about EVGA.

Agreed .  Some people up there recommending bring the gpu to pd .    Pd will take the gpu and buyer will get left out with no gpu and money.  lmao

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but, how are we supposed to know if our GPU comes from a thief?, isn't it way easier to just post the Serial Numbers involved, so we can check them out BEFORE buying anything?

If you are able to get access to the serial number from the seller, then you can confirm it on our Check Warranty page.

Lol okay…

Let’s think about this… naive person buys a used card but doesn’t realize the card is stolen…
Naive person goes to register “used” card…
Now naive person has logged into evgas website with a stolen card and is now involved into a legal problem because it’s against the law to buy a stolen card.

Post the serial numbers to try and protect the buyer. Stop being a selfish company

Sounds like an inside job tbh

No, it is a crime to consciously purchase stolen property.  The worst that would happen to your "naive" buyer, is they would lose the card and what they paid for it.  It would be a life lesson not soon forgotten.

“A naive person logs in and registers the card” and gets a notification to contact EVGA immediately upon that action.. which is exactly what they would need to do even if the serial numbers were blasted all over the place.

Wow just saw this thread, terrible. Hard enough to get GPU's and now suddenly having to deal with this.
