Ebay question

if i had to guess (certainly don't know).. i'd say both of those answers are correct.. it would likely just fall on the paypal support member who replies, at which point some would say it's not covered, and others would file it under a certain category it does semi fit and cover it.

basically my guess is, what size straw do you draw? did ya get the short straw or long one? ^^

The actual question is: is it even worth it? What game and what price are we talking about?

To be honest, I can't answer your question. But I personally would be carefull, when buying games cheap on eBay.
It is one thing, if a games was bundled before. In this case the seller COULD have get it from a bundle and resells it.
But if you buy a game that was not bundled before, I would wonder, WHY the person can sell it at this price...
And especially be carefull if it is a new seller without many ratings.

But that's just my personal opinion

My experiences with eBay support haven't been great - for any given problem you seem to have a 50/50 chance of a sensible response or a response that has nothing to do with your problem and your ticket closed as resolved with no way to reopen it. If the answer to this one is unclear to us don't expect anyone from support to have a better answer, I'd say it really could go any which way.

You are from Greece yes? Then you are covered by European law, unless it states clearly that there are no refunds possible.

If I would be short on money, I personally wouldn't risk gambling my money away or wanting to waste my time with support, if something goes bad.

I say you shouldn't risk it.

eBay is weird. if they don't have tracking that they delivered the item, you can probably get a refund. I still don't know, though. People deliver by e-mail anyway. Maybe it's different by country, but I'm just going off what I had read a while back. I sold a copy of Link Between Worlds years ago, so maybe I don't know what is what anymore. I would assume your money spent on a digital item is at risk for loss as soon as you buy it, though.

It says digitally delivered is against policy (I mean, digital games are generally already not allowed by policy) but if someone can't prove they delivered it to your address (physically) you can just.. claim they never delivered if you want to be that person.
I think it's a coin flip if you'll get your money back. eBay is supposed to be notorious for favoring buyers, so who knows.

I bought two removed games off eBay recently, though... they were Gifts, though. So at least those are safe.

Answer 1 is correct. Digitial items are not allowed on Ebay outside of classified where there is no buyer/seller protections provided.

You are SOL.

But... if they are selling it in the main area, and there is a problem. You will win a paypal fund reversal because they have no post tracking number.

I'd say read this and then wait for a sale on a reputable site. :)
