Well, I'm sending another box (with 2 games) in today. I'll just continue to be nervous until I get credited for the first one I sent last week .

They do call that 7 day out date a "ship by" date but I wonder how they even know when you shipped it when there's no tracking?

The warnings are only the ship-by date if I'm recalling the language correctly, but without tracking I'm not sure how strict they are. edit: There's a blank space for postal workers to fill in the shipping charge due, maybe they also write down the date upon acceptance?

"Thank you for choosing to sell your item(s) on Half.com. Please note that your order will be good for 7 days. We encourage you to ship your item(s) within ____day, M/D/Y"

I share your hesitation -- especially since they are using Media Mail rate for some of their PS3 games (Dead Island and Rayman Origins, the former going in the mail today and the latter having been deposited into my PP account recently) -- which according to the USPS is improper use because video games contain advertising. I've emailed them about this and did get a response so they are aware of the issue, but didn't have any problems with Rayman, even with mailing it on the last day suggested in the reminder email.

I'll keep trying this, one game at a time.

Just got an email that they received my Lego Harry Potter and the payment was being processed. I mailed it on Friday...they received it way faster than expected.

I just sent mine in today on like day 4 or 5 of the 7 day window, i hope it works out

Yeah, see, this is what I'm talking about - I mailed one last Wednesday and still nothing... There's just no way of knowing when it actually gets there until they pay you.

I've now got 2 packages on the way (with 3 games) and am about to send another 2 games today. I won't be able to relax about this until I at least get paid for the first one .

Anyone know if the package has to be postmarked in 7 days or if Half.com has to receive it within 7 days?

EDIT: Read some of the previous posts and it seems that the consensus is that the 7-day mark is a "Shipped By" date.

If you're so worried about it, you should of just waited for them to process the first order. Instead of shipping in another 2 orders.

Well, yeah, but I was kind of hoping the first would have processed by now and I had to ship the others before their quotes expired. I waited as long as I could. I have one more to send in by the end of the week and I really hope the first one is processed by then or I really might just cancel that one.

Interesting. I may have to experiment with this program a tad. Especially since my copy of Rayman Origins has been sitting here since I last played it and it's getting $30 something(before 15% reduction for taking Paypal).

I only paid $20 for it from BB, so let's see if I can make a lil extra on what I paid.

Has anyone really found anything worthwhile besides rayman? I tried about 10 games and then gave up.

Finally got my first one acknowledged as received - no payment yet though.

So that first one took 8 days just for them to get - granted, there was a holiday mixed in there.

I just got an email saying 4 of my games are processed. Now I am awaiting payment.

I've sent in about 4 orders and about 15ish games so far with no issues. No tracking sucks, but I get confirmation they received it in about a 5-6 days and payment about 2 days after that.

Could you let me know what games you sent in? Most of mine aren't worth sending in.

I've been taking advantage of the latest b2g2/b2g1 BB & GS deals, today I took advantage of the GS extra 25% off used wii titles and picked up Disney Universe, Lego Harry Potter, & Rayman Origins. You can trade in multiples of the same game if you submit different orders. My submission today looks like this:

Madden 12 & NCAA 12 still get pretty good TIV, Lego HP: Yrs 5-7 gets good TIV, Sonic Generations is decent, Dark Souls is around 18 as is Disney Universe. Those are the main ones I've been targeting.

This post refers to a question I have. So I created two orders for my two copies of Harry Potter, since as far as I can tell you cannot send in multiples in one order.

The question is: Can I send the two games in one package to save on shipping material? And include the second order's shipping note inside the package to show proof of the second order?

I can't state for certain that you can't, but it seems like asking for trouble. You don't have any boxes/envelopes you can reuse?

uh oh, I sent in a HP for wii and ps3 and a Rayman on wii in one shipment....lets hope it works out

Just got my confirmation e-mail for Rayman Origins for 360. Sent it out Saturday.

I have sent in about ten (10) games this year, and they are usually very fast with payment. From my own experience, they DID pay me on the same day I received the confirmation email. If not, the next day.
