Ask HN: Are most non-NewEgg sellers scammers?

I ordered some "in-stock" processors from NE seller Technology Galaxy that "shipped", they "lost" them and NE never credited my card.

I ordered the same "in-stock" processors from NE seller BuyVPC and they just voided the transaction without any communication after creating a shipping label. Also, no credit.

I'm out two weeks and $4000 in credit because of this.

NE seems like a platform that promotes and encourages fraud. I think I'll just have the credit card company chargeback NE due to their gross negligence and incompetence.

PS: Watch out for the boxed vs. OEM/tray processors bait-and-switch scam too. Get what you paid for (warranty) or send it back.
