One of my friends in college would buy stuff at auction. He said electronics were a shitshow for many sellers.
He said you're asking to get screwed unless you list serial numbers and have photo proof of functionality and mention it in your listing.
In the hundreds of transactions conducted by the university club I was a part of (we sold IT stuff that went missing on its way to the dumpster). Based on his advice we generated packing lists that included the device serial, tests performed, by who, when and screenshots. We never had a problem. Our biggest worry was the accuracy of the fish scale we used to weigh shipments.
There's people out there who make a business out of buying stuff from sellers who are far away, claim warranty and then resell the working item.
