Yeah, always dread selling on eBay, but sometimes it's the only way I can clear unwanted stuff. Seem to always lose money on there though.
I had to refund someone for a motherboard/cpu/ram combo a few months ago, the buyer kept messaging saying he couldn't install Windows from a USB stick. It was a P4 system from 2001, and back then bootable USB support was preliminary or non-existent on PC hardware. Told him he'd need to use an IDE DVD drive and optical media, so he then goes and obtains an external USB DVD drive instead and surprise, that didn't work either. Gave up and refunded him, couldn't be bothered despite knowing there was nothing wrong with it.
