Seller history
From CMP Wiki
More actions
Seller history collects what members of the cmpunlocker Discord reported about named sellers of CMP 170HX cards and related parts from 2026-07-19 to 2026-11-02: what was advertised, what arrived or happened, how it ended, and who reported it. Every row is one report, checked against the cited Discord message. A row says what that member posted; it is not a finding by this wiki. Before you pay, read Buying and the Acceptance checklist.
110 reports about 44 sellers: 20 fraud, 57 product disputes, 33 good reports. Labels: 25 firsthand reports, 32 independently corroborated, 20 unresolved allegations, 33 good reports.
How to read this page
- Type keeps fraud apart from ordinary trouble. Fraud: the report describes misrepresentation, fake or missing goods, money taken without delivery, or a wire-only or crypto-only bait listing. Product dispute: a defect, the card's condition, a delay, a cancellation or a refund; a seller who sends a bad card is not by that alone a scammer. Good report: a buyer's own good experience.
- Label says how strong the evidence is. Firsthand report: the poster describes their own dealing with the seller. Independently corroborated: at least one other member reported the same kind of problem with the same seller from a separate dealing of their own. Unresolved allegation: a second-hand or general accusation, a fraud claim where no money changed hands, or a report other members dispute. Good report: a buyer's own good experience.
- Seller is the public marketplace identity the buyer gave: a store or company name, a marketplace username, a store ID, or the listing title when the seller was not named. Personal names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, payment details and listing links are left out on purpose. When members tied several names to one seller, the section says so with its source, and each row keeps the name the buyer used.
- Reported by: the Source credits under each report name the member who posted it and link to the Discord message; a report built from several messages credits each one.
- Date is the date of the report (its first message); event dates are in the text when the source gives them. Prices are as posted. Resolution is "Not stated" when the sources do not say how it ended.
- Every table sorts by any column. The rows are also stored as structured data (the Cargo table SellerReport), and Special:Drilldown/SellerReport lists which sellers have reports of each type, label, marketplace and resolution.
Corrections and resolutions
Sellers and buyers can ask for a correction, or add a resolution such as a refund, a replacement or a chargeback result, the same way as any other correction or removal on this wiki: ask on the cmpunlocker Discord (see Contributing). A resolution or a correction is recorded next to the report, as a note in the row or a new dated row with its own source; the original report stays, so the history remains readable. A row never says more than its source.

2026-07-23 | Product dispute | 445 USD per card, paid order placed on the Saturday after the unlock news | The seller's rep tried to get out of the paid order while the store advertised at about 300% more. Over a messaging app the seller asked him to top up to 250% of the original price, later to cancel or pay 1,300 USD (855 USD above his order), then stopped answering. The order never shipped; he requested cancellation and Alibaba refunded 97%, keeping a 3% fee that he later recovered through a PayPal dispute.

2026-10-04 | Good report | 3D-printed shrouds, fans and power cables sold as a ready to go kit (dual and quad versions). | @ikyo received the quad kit he ordered on 09-28. The EPS cables that came with his own PSU did not work with it, so he mounted the shroud on the outside for now and suggested a clip-in mount for the power cable; the seller welcomed the feedback.
