I sold a valuable ps2 title that buyer ended up setting up a return they sent a completely videogame. I reported buyer for sending wrong item. talked to a live agent they gave the piece of shit buyer a refund but said they would give me a courtesy refund for my long standing account. haven’t got the refund in my bank yet but I’ll see but still I hate that a piece of shit scammer gets away with this. the buyer got banned but it’s probably a fake account anyways. so yeah it’s disgusting. hopefully the refund gpes through I at least get the money I’m owed. the whole process is just setup for scammers though. there’s literally

no consequences to stealing and fraud on eBay.

buyer received item then a week later wants a return says item was damaged in transit disc had no marks before then they send a picture with scuff marks . some bs they can claim this after having the item literally for a damn week. now it says my funds are on hold and I have to give them a refund if they ship and return item in 3 weeks. how is bs like this even fair. and what’s to stop the buyer from just sending a game they already played like a rental or

damaged with their own machine ? what are the odds eBay gives me my funds if the game is now damaged ? this is worth 600 dollars too so not just something cheap . never had issues like this years ago o guess modern eBay is scammers and dickheads. probably gonna just delete account once the rest of my stuff is sold and I get my

money. and I’m a seller with positive feedback dating back to 2013 and this buyer is a new user with 3 feedback. yet they just auto side with him. feel like I might get fucked out of 600 bucks and potentially my item in good shape just venting, I’m sure a lot of you been fucked over too.

I made all my listings auction only because I don’t need money instantly so I feel comfortable waiting for auctions so I get maximum money out of my old things. A lot of people

message asking why no buy it now and probably giving me lowball offers. Are these people worth responding too or are they usually just trouble?

I usually do 12 on average . 4-5-3.

The story really was brilliant in so many ways from the prediction of technology and its role in the future. the meta narrative showing how misinformation is effective the initial trailers only showed us a half truth of snake and tha tanker , omitting the raiden /bigshell. even the marketing highlights how easy it is to mislead people and shape truth to an extent. and the commentary on digital censorship and the use of a.I this game could be released today and would be more relevant than ever. the ending speech from A.i about human nature and why they want to control the masses is fascinating. There are so many layers to the game and how all these sides are being used or mislead or pawns in a larger game. it’s mind blowing . first played it at age 17 so I understood some of the themes but as I get older and replay it , it just keeps making more and more sense and it’s almost scary that a visionary saw the state of the world and its future back in 2001. it’s a fun game to play also and holds up very well but the deep narrative is definitely what puts it in my top 10 video games. Anyone else really a fan of mgs2?
