Jeez, not just eBay, he shouldn\'t be allowed to live.  What good do losers like that do?

Anyway, keep fighting the good fight.  He could very well have a winnable case on you for defamation of character, but who gives a ****?  It would take a lot of green and time for him to actually go through with it.  He might have the time, but how much cash would a guy selling broken games on eBay have?  Good luck.
I\'ll think of a sig later.

You shouldn\'t have emailed his other bidders.  You might have shot yourself in the foot by doing that.  The description of the item on his auction page didn\'t say anything about the condition of the disk, so you had a very good case against him on that basis.  The statement "all sales are final" doesn\'t mean anything.  

You should have gone to Ebay, told them that he sold you a defective item without disclosing the condition, and then let them know that he refused to refund you.  Let EBAY take action against him.  There\'s no reason for you to go vigilante on him.

I have filed a complaint with e-bay and paypal.

I only e-mailed 2 of his bidders and I did not bad mouth him.
I just stated the facts so the other 2 bidders would have a "heads up" on the seller.

I just told them that I got a game that did not work and he refused to give a refund.

why don\'t you post his name, address, e-mail, and other information here so we can sign him up for fag-e-mail distribution lists and stuff.

Um, if you signed him up for gay porn and that ****, wouldn\'t you have to see a ton of it, too?

Wow, I never bought stuff from ebays before.  After seeing this, I probably won\'t even bother buying anything from Ebay.  It looks like a frustrating place.  If I am in your position, I would be pissed too.

Ebay.com isn\'t that bad of a place to buy things (though, you won\'t save much most the time). You just need to be a catuious and curious bidder. I mean this in the sense, you need to do your research and know what to look for. The same applies for any online site, or any time you buy anything for that matter.

Does his ad say that the game requires a mod-chip? If so then the game is copied and illegit and the seller can be banned if you notify eBay. Also, selling copied games is starting to come under more and more scrutiny. There is an article on msn.com today about a guy in the Bronx whose apartment was just raided by the FBI for suspicion of DVD copying.

However, I have made about a hundred transactions on eBay and have never had any problems. Try buying from people with a lot of good feedback.

I took the game to the local video game store and had it repaired for $3.00 .

The game looks brand new BUT still does not work on my playstation.(all of my other games work fine)

I took the game to my sisters house and it works great on hers.(she has the new smaller version of the psx)

Would anyone know why this would happen??

why is it that my older system can\'t read the disc?
