Hi,

so I recently sold my AMD Raedon 5700 XT graphics card on Facebook Marketplace and the seller wants a refund saying it is not authentic. I know it is because I purchased it from Microcenter two months ago, but I am not sure if Facebook Marketplace will side with the seller. He is saying that he took it to his microcenter and the guy was sketched out, but will not provide proof of this. He said that I did not advertise my card as the "BE version of the card." I have no idea what that means, only because I went with what the man at microcenter said was good. Can anybody tell me the difference between a BE version of this graphics card means? And does that make it non-authentic? Thank you!

If you mean the Sapphire 5700XT BE (Budget Edition) then it's just a stripped down version without a lit logo, dual BIOS, and a less beefy cooler. It's not fake, though it's materially different if you didn't post the listing with the model number.
