My Super Mario 4 Advance: SMB 3 and Final Fantasy Tactics got rejected for being the wrong item. I guess one of 4 things happened.
1) They are dumbasses.
2) They ed up my games.
3) SMB4:SMB3 is confusing as for a title. Didn't know what it was. That I can kinda understand.
4) They switched the games.

FYI...there is a link to print a shipping label in the e-mail confirmation they sent when you submitted the trade-ins. That should work.

May I also suggest that you (and others) look into the many free "print to .pdf" programs out there like PrimoPDF. Print your labels to .pdf when you submit your trade-ins and have them readily available. Who knows when your internet connection is going to go out.

Easy come, easy go, I guess.

Got paid out on a bunch today, but a lot of random ones from orders didn't pay out or packages that arrived a few days earlier have not paid out yet. weird. everything is still sitting in processing, at least.

My stuff is exactly the same.

Me too, my stuff received Oct 2 was paid before stuff received Sept 28.

I'm experiencing the same problem you guys are facing. Over 10+ cart related games got rejected for being the wrong item, but they accepted all my disc related games. I got a feeling someone in Amazon trade-in management notice the unusually high trade-in, so they tell their employees to reject some games.

Can't we complain to amazon customer service and get credited anyway?

I got credited another $59.80 for two more trade-ins (Doom 3 and DOA:XBV), but those two games I mentioned in my recent posts are still "Not Yet Received"...

I know I shouldn't worry, but I'm still getting a bit anxious...

Are you guys with the cart-related rejections getting only cart-only stuff rejected, or complete stuff? I have 2 more GBA games on the way, and one of them is SMB 4 Advance: SMB3. They better not eff that up. If they reject it, they better send back the mint/complete box NOT in a padded envelope. I was on the fence about sending that one in in the first place since I could have sold it for around $40 in the mint condition it was in. I just figured $30 with "no hassle" was better than listing and selling for a possible $40. Now I kind of wish I hadn't sent it.

From my box of 11 gameboy/gameboy advance all were cart only games and 2 were rejected for some unknown reason. It lists "severe damage" but I know they were not.

And my platinum gamecube that arrived there 1 Oct. still hasn't gone into the processing stage. It arrived the same day as my box of gamecube games arrived and those were already paid out now.

I hope this isn't a shock, it's why I sent in my stuff really quickly.

I sent in a GameCube under the "good" condition, but it was denied. I had everything but the box included as well.

still nothing. everything is still processing

I literally sent my GBA cart only game as acceptable and it was accepted no problems. I literally just put in the size 0 mailer along with a psx game.


Noticed value on Jet Set Radio Xbox went up today.. think i have that laying around somewhere

The standalone JSRF is worth a bit, so be careful.

My recent 'received' items (all carts I sent were loose):
Poke Stadium - Unacceptable (I didn't think to put in a xfer pak, which sucks because I've got a bunch laying around)
Mario Golf - Acceptable
Poke Snap - Acceptable
Gauntlet Legends - good

Gen Ristar - Acceptable (Note says missing original packaging, which is BS since it was CIB, maybe because it wasn't a clamshell they were confused. Still, got $21 so I can't complain)
SFAlpha 2 - Acceptable
SSFII - Acc

GBA SMA4: SMB3 - Wrong Item
GBC DWIII - Wrong Item
GBC Harvest Moon - Wrong Item
GC Shadow Hedgehog - Good
(total BS on this set, although there are two cart versions for Harvest, and my other was accepted in a different trade)

SNES Tetris Attack - Acc

So yeah, for the GB stuff in particular they seem to be rejecting stuff a lot more now.

What a joke. They gave me "Wrong Item" on 5/6 GBA games I sent in. Cartridge only. The dream is over. They gave me "incorrect edition" on the reason for why it was not accepted.

I did too put it under "good". I had everything in the box. Mine will probably be denied as well then.

Thanks for the heads up. Hard to gauge value since it seems to be available in that combo package with Sega GT.

From what I see in ebay though, complete packages are going around $25-$35.
