I've seen some propeller arena ebay bids cancelled thanks to members of this forum. This guy is selling half-life, propeller arena and beats of rage copies, but ebay didn't answered to my warnings to close this bids: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ixpreloaded&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 Any help would be appreciated By the way, what's the best way to denounce sales of pirate games in ebay? It seems client attention is not very good with this things... Greets
LOL I like his style, freebies are good Doesnt bother me, i'd like the game but my internet connection sucks. For some he provides a service. Doesnt make it right, but this and selling roms is so widespread, chasing boot & rom sellers is a thankless task.
Fight the good fight though! Maybe we can't close the floodgates but we can sure as hell die trying! FREEEEDOM!!
I'm a goddamn retard!! I gets wrecked and shits myself!!! :smt022 You fuckin knows it, clart! :smt023 - edited by GSL. Listen asshat, you can keep making these stupid as hell posts, and we'll just keep editing or deleting them. Were you a semi-intelligent vertebrate, you'd realize that your behaviour is childish, annoying, and not remotely welcome.
On a less irritated note, I've noticed several things: If more than one person reports a pirate auction, it usually helps spur eBay on to close things. I also send a snotty letter to the seller explaining they they are in violation of eBay rules and a money-grubbing bitch (well, usually in nicer, more sarcastic and less blunt terms). And finally, one of the best things to do is send a message to the high bidder. Explain that the seller is selling pirated software that they didn't pay a dime for, and if they really want the game, offer to help the bidder get a copy of the game for the same price the seller did. This could result in you having to teach someone bittorrrent or physically mail them a cd, as I have had to do a few times, but I find that far better than allowing people to sell unreleased games over eBay. Just my two cents, but when I do things like this, it usually works. Also, Basely, shame on you! :smt019 Regardless of their stance on roms, emulation, and unreleased games, most people consider the selling of these things to be rightly a black area. If you really want PA or Half-Life, why not PM someone on the board? I'm sure someone would send you the game for free or the cost of shipping or something. :smt023 But buying on eBay just encourages those pirates... :smt011
Ebay sucks shit -- there's no two ways about it. Did I tell you guys I got my account frozen for 6 months b/c I stated in some auctions, "you have to have a Japanese or system modded to allow the play of imports to play this game -- I don't sell them, nor no where to buy them so please don't ask." Yet, selling stuff that's clearly copyright infringing is okay so long as Ebay gets thiers.
