Got ripped off on eBay
    #14160130 - 03/21/11 04:18 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

so I bought a 360 game on eBay.  It took 3 weeks to get here, and on top of that when I finally put the game in, I get the "Disc is Unreadable" message.The product was advertised as like new.  I am not happy, I'm about to ask this dude for a refund.

yeah i thought that too, but i have a brand new xbox so i hope it's not a problem with the xbox. and the game has a pretty large scratch on it. yeah i e-mailed the guy but nothing will come of it probably. he probably knew the game was fucked when he sold it.

live and learn ill just pay extra and get a game new from now on i guess

That is why I don't buy any games used unless its from a friend. Fucking shady people online who will sell garbage... they might as well not have sent anything at all.

I prefer to buy used games at a retail store. There is one close to me that offers a 30 day refund if the game is defective. When buying a game for 10-20 bucks the shipping would cost more than the game itself. I have had some luck with craigslist too, but if you get a bad one you're pretty much screwed

I did that with a pokemon gameboy game when I was like 12.  The battery inside had died, so the game couldn't save anymore.  And none of the game stores had the tool needed to open the cartridge to replace the battery.

Fuck people. :gc:

:facepalm:

You didn't get ripped off until the seller doesn't respond to you, AND PayPal doesn't refund you.  This title is very misleading.

No, at the moment you have a broken game, that may have been damaged in shipping, and the seller may not have even realized it.

I got ripped off on ebay like a yr ago..When it was all said and done ebay was going to pay me something like 20-25% of the 120$ that i spent on there.. I had to have the credit card company fax the bill (which wasnt easy). In the long run i just said fuck it.. and was  happy i didnt spend more than 100$. I will never buy anything over like 20$ on there ever again.

The person I got ripped off by had thousands of positive reviews. I guess they used the good reviews to rip off people like me. And just never sent the "paid for items" to lots of people on ebay. Good luck!

you could try giving him a bad rating on ebay or contacting ebay.

the only times i ever gave someone a bad rating on there was when things didnt arrive at all... and then they would send another one and both would end up coming :lol:

Have you tried polishing the disc with brasso?  That's saved many-a-disc for me.  Audio CD's and DVDs alike.
