That would bother me too, but I had to change your title mate, saying you want to kill some one in capps is a bit extreme.

if you want to buy things off the internet, try to buy it from a company rather than a person, so instead of Ebay try these:
www.amazon.com/
www.dvdcrave.com/

Amazon is American and DVD Crave is Aussie

Sorry to hear about your problem with ebay, really need to careful & not buy from sellers with low feedback scores. I have been using ebay for years now & have been lucky enough to have never had any problems.

That's awful, Stublu.

Ebay is great when you don't get ripped off. I'm sure everyone knows to check the sellers feedback and so on.
But even then there's still a chance that you will get ripped off.

There are a lot of reputable sellers on ebay. I got nearly all my games from there. Just look at feedback, and NEVER EVER pay direct deposit. And never buy if the price is a token cost and shipping high (another ripoff tactic for buyer protection avoidance)

Snickersma, unless you used PayPal, then I don't think you'll be getting your money back.
I think PayPal has some kind of protection or something for when that happens....

Damn, that really sucks. Unlucky stublu.

I haven't had a bad experience on ebay yet (thank god), although ... I haven't actually bought a PS3 game on ebay yet.
However, I've sold one (Ridge Racer 7) but obviously I was a good honest seller

PS: I buy most of my games from eStarland.com

Sorry to hear buddy, You could also report it to the police, because it's theft. I would recommend that you always read their profile and negative feed back, and + 1 for Paypal due to the buyer protection. I know its the principal, but at least it's only $50- and not more. Hope every thing works out for you.
