I sold some motherboards on eBay several years ago. They can be a pain. It's a complicated component that can lead to countless reasons for the buyer to be unhappy. If you want a good price then they require a lot of testing and a lot of description. In spite of your efforts, the buyer can still end up not setting something up correctly, or find some function that isn't working as expected, or there's some incompatibility with their hardware, etc. At this point you either have to try to help them fix the problem (assuming they're coherent, friendly, and interested in being helped), or give up with a return/refund/etc.
I got into the habit of writing detailed ads describing everything I wanted the buyer to know, but writing an ad like that became a burden. Plus there are still people who buy stuff without reading.
Writing detailed descriptions may be a double edged sword - anything you say in the ad better be completely accurate, or the buyer might use the ad to blame you for whatever misunderstanding occurs. Perhaps just telling buyers to "do your own research" is safer from that point of view.
In practice, I don't recall an ad of mine getting blamed for a misunderstanding. What did happen was people who didn't read or missed some important point, probably because the ad was too long.
Shipping keeps getting more expensive, and we're at the point now where shipping plus fees will cost as much as many boards are worth. If there's any problem with the transaction, some of today's buyers will expect you to eat the shipping cost both directions, or let them keep the item for free. In the end, nobody makes money except the post office. For boards that aren't worth much, it's probably best to sell the item "as-is" and minimize your liability.
I like when sellers have a separately itemized shipping charge with a good combined shipping discount, and a correspondingly lower price on the individual items. Then I can buy multiple items to be shipped together, which makes it more economical for everyone. You can even mention in your ad that you have other items offered with combined shipping, and some people will check them out. The only problem with this is that some buyers believe in the "free" shipping gimmick and might ignorantly ding your feedback for calculating it separately.
If you want selling motherboards to be as painless as possible and don't mind getting less money for the sale, then a simple description "as-is" "do your own research" coupled with clear photos is probably the way to go. I would also declare whether the item works and has anything obviously broken, but this also could be used to put you on the hook for those claims.
If a board seems temperamental or it plain doesn't work then make sure you say so - otherwise the buyer will feel deceived. Declaring the item as non-working minimizes your liability but you won't get much money for it.
It's probably best to always look for any physical defects (broken sockets, etc) and declare them directly. Bulged capacitors are a well known issue nowadays so buyers will look for them. The reality is that some types of old motherboards almost always have bulged caps. I pretty much expect it from old boards, but some people who can't solder are still prone to be upset about it.
I personally think that if you tested the board working and didn't make any claims about the condition of caps or other low level electrical components then you should be in the clear, but getting an eBay employee to rule in your favor would probably come down to luck.
I think bundling the CPU and RAM was probably a good idea, as it could cut down on buyers having compatibility issues and thinking that the board is to blame.
It's certainly possible to overlook things that buyers think are obvious. I once sold an old camera and got a neutral feedback complaining about a blemish on one side that had not been declared. I had honestly never thought about it.
If you respond to feedback, always use a pleasant tone and direct it at future potential buyers, not the buyer who you're angry at. You don't want future buyers to perceive you as hostile or difficult to deal with. The goal should be to make it look better than it was without your response.
Unfortunately eBay's feedback comments are so pitifully short that it's hard to say much more than "YAY great buyer wowwow A+++" before you run out of characters.
