I highly doubt that brand-new Raspberry Pis and used PCs on eBay have anywhere close to comparable failure rates.

Anecdote: my one attempt to use a Raspberry Pi PoE hat ended in almost immediate failure due to a mechanical failure of a header on the hat. (Also the built in fan is crap.)

The RPi itself is still going strong.
