For electronic tech (or any expensive breakable item) that's supposed to work, take a detailed video that shows the item's true condition with it working (and even being tested, as appropriate), and post it as a private video on YT. Get confirmation that the buyer has viewed the video and accepts the item and its condition before shipment. Insure the package, and if the seller has an issue w/ the item, you've got an easy claim against the shipping company if ebay puts up a fight.

I think everyone who is a regular eBay seller above is saying that doesn't matter
Video proves nothing. You're not thinking like a thief. There are 1,000,000 ways to defeat the setup you're spelling out.
Not like a thief..., like somebody that wants to be prepared for as many eventualities as possible....
and most importantly so that the transaction results in me getting paid.
I've used videos many times, including a couple that when the shipping company got involved, resulted in the buyer paying the agreed upon price.
