has anyone got any suggestions on how i can deal with this guy?
bought a couple of gameboy games from ebay
cost $56usd for both of them
paid through paypal
got them in the mail
open them up and start playing one... save.. turn off... turn on later... "your save file is corrupted"
huh??? goes to google to see if this has happened before... ppl keep talking about bootlegs (heh they're friggin trousers here)
do more research
find that are fake fraudulent copies counterfiets
only realise later on reading the auction again... they are imported from another country but he is located in the UK
on the packaging i receive in the "from" section is the supposed UK traders name but coming from pakistan!
first email to trader

Realistically... these games are my only gaurantee that you will refund me
If i send them... there i have no gaurantee you will ever refund my money and being that i am on the other side of the world doesn't help
I hope you can see my point of view

hey
i got the games this morning... and unfortunately they appear to be copies and not the original item... they have a fault on saving and once undergoing research have discovered they are fakes
the other thing that gives this away.....
on the box it says copyright 2002 "intendo" which i highly doubt they would mispell their own name
I am going to see my local Nintendo agent to verify my findings tomorrow
Could you please let me know how we can remedy this
Thank you

Hello thanks for the email,
I got the games from suppliers in Pakistan, they advised that the games were of original condition, I have no clue about this.

Well.. the only solution i can think of is this
You refund the money i paid for the games and i can send the games back to you... and you can test them in a gameboy of your choice and verify this
I will still leave good feedback being that i paid and you still sent in a timely manner
how does that sound?
reply from trader
Hey sounds good,
But I can only refund you once i receive the games back in the same condition it were sent to you, please send the games back at the following address:-

Dear Customer,
Many thanks for your email, we are dealing in trade business and hence in the trade industry there are no refunds offered unless the original product is returned back in good condition. You live in New Zealand and you would probably know that you cant get a refund unless you return the product, you cant ask the shopkeeper to give you the refund without giving him the product back. Apart from all this My add clearly stated that the games were import and come without instruction manuals, I have had no complaints about these games soo far from the customers who have purchased them off me, and you are the first one. Also you should consider the amount youve spent in purchasing these items and you wouldnt have been able to get them at the same price if you went out to the stores or to your local nintendo dealer. I have my options open for you to either reparcel the games back so I can refund you or you should keep them.
Regards,
Varietysalesman
