Long story short, I was dealing on ebay, bought a psu that i found out was cheaper on newegg later on in the day. I received the package today despite the fact that usps was retarded and did not come to the right apt complex several times. The power supply was to be this:

So I received my package today, and it was not what I expected. The Main connector is missing one pin. The PSU has no actual manufacturer compared to the one I ordered. It is missing one pci-e 6 pin. And the color of the power supply is gold.
^ This is what i sent him
I messaged the owner about this and this is what he replied.
hi:
the power supply should be fine. under the new atx standard the -5v is no longer required.
ATX12V v2.01
This is a minor revision from June 2004. An errant reference for the -5V rail was removed. Other minor changes were introduced.
The ATX specification requires the power supply to produce three main outputs, +3.3 V +5 V and +12 V. Low-power -12 V and 5 VSB (standby) supplies are also required. A -5 V output was originally required because it was supplied on the ISA bus, but it became obsolete with the removal of the ISA bus in modern PCs and has been removed in later versions of the ATX standard.
I sent him a message for his address to get a refund and he said okay, send it to this address and everything will be k.
My question is, did the owner even answer my question?
I need a real answer, I know nothing about power supplies what so ever.
