I had ordered a game and had my old address on it from when I lived with my parents, but I had changed it on my account before I made my purchase but did not delete my old address. I just did not want the post office to return the package back to the sender. I had moved in early fall this year, well only next door. I sent him a message about it and gave him my new address. Do you guys think he will think it's fraudulent? I hope not cause I really want that game! Edited by Gameboy Freak, Dec 15 2011, 06:11 PM.

No-one was there to pick it up, so it was sent to the nearest post depot and left a slip at the address. Then my old flatmate didnt tell me about it until the day it was to be sent back to the sender...i was furious. Then the person said they sent me the wrong cables anyway and would have had to send them back...what a pain in the ass. i still havent emailed them back...was sick of the messing about. Ebay has some stupid ass sellers.

Ebay has some stupid ass sellers. That would drive me insane! I have bad anxiety issues so I would not be able to stop worrying until it would get delivered. But the seller I ordered my game from seems to be pretty good with shipping and stuff like that from his reviews.

Do you guys think he will think it's fraudulent? I hope not cause I really want that game! I sell on eBay and have had some buyers request change of address. If they email me and notify me, then chances are they aren't fraudulent. If I see some strange address with a different name from their paypal name and it states very clearly, "uncomfirmed" then I email them to confirm. Your seller won't care as long as you emailed them. They are guaranteed protected under paypal seller protection as long as they provide delivery confirmation and can show your email as back-up in case anything happened. You'll be fine.

Retroverdose Posts: 3,313 Group: Moderator Member #47 Joined: Jan 27, 2009 Currently Playing Dark Souls III Twitter Kharnivore2099	Actually i just remembered... I sold an N64 a couple of years back with about 8 boxed games, 10 loose carts, 4 pads and 4 memory cards. 1 of these memory cards wasnt stated in the description but i found an extra and threw it in anyway. They said it never arrived and i didnt do it by recorded delivery, so lost my money and my N64 with some fantastic games. Given that the reason i was selling it was so i could manage to pay the rent i was totally gutted. Who can i blame but myself though, had i covered my own back then i could have appealed. Lesson learned and hopefully a bit wiser. (a little anyway)

I remember ordering some GBA games and was like man, what a deal! I get them and the boxes are obviously faked with a 2 page instruction booklet. The games did work but they didn't save any data so I never played them. Such a waste.

Best accident was winning what I thought was the Demon's Souls cd and artbook pretty cheap and finding out after further reading that I also got the game with it haha.

Sega Does What Nintendon't Posts: 3,285 Group: Moderator Member #792 Joined: May 25, 2009	I buy a lot of stuff from eBay and have only had one bad experience. I bought a boxed Sega CD that was stated as being mint with everything. It even had detailed pictures of the unit that wasn't stock photos but of the item I was buying. When the Sega CD got here it wasn't the one pictured but rather one that looked like it had been unearthed from its grave or found laying under someone porch. I was pissed but I hooked the unit up to test it out as I was really only buying it to have one boxed. Needless to say the unit never worked all it did was make horrible grinding sounds. I was able to get my money refunded but I lost shipping on the unit and it wasn't cheap being a boxed Sega CD. I have had other minor things happen but this was the only time I have been blatantly conned or lied to with the item description and pictures not matching what was shipped.
