So in a few weeks I am taking a nice little 16 hour road trip with the family. So to try and pass the time I thought I might want to add some games to my GBA collection. So like what I had done before I headed on over to ebay. I was able to find all the games I wanted and more from this one seller. And to top it off they were all going for 9.99 each. So I placed a bid on all of the games. Then when it came time to pay the person over pay pal I couldnt get the sellers account to work. So for the past few days the seller and I have been playing email tag. Then today I was looking at the sellers feedback. Within the past few days he has earned four negative feedbacks. All four listed how the seller was sending out counterfeit copies of gba games. It is a good thing the guy doesnt know how to set up a pay pal account or I would have already sent the money. Now I have to find a new place to find my gba games for less. Or look harder for people on ebay who are selling the real deal. So from now on unless the person is from the US, I am not buying it.

what's the sellers name? heads up please :) also, i ordered an castlevania game about a year ago and didn't know about counterfits until last month! HAHA, i learned about them from this website. i'm crazy worried that mines a fake. oh well, i got it from a US seller... but he might have bought a pirated copy :( oh well, it works and i'm happy. i'm also an educated consumer like you are now :)

Who was the peru seller, because I just won some games from a guy from peru. He doesn't have a paypal account so the options of payment are money order or western union. What should I do, wait it out a little and see if the seller replies?

Well than is an awesome cartoon of Brodie. Lee is the man in ever Smith flick. Wish he could be cast in the role of Fletch. If not him maybe Brad Pitt. Anyone besides Ben.

I would back out, even though your not supposed to. I usualy dont buy from sellers that are not in the US, and dont accept Paypal. Should have looked better at it before.
