Nintendo / Sega import converters now banned on ebay

. . .
So, what's next? Not able to buy games from another region rather your own?

 

I find it strange they would ban that, I'd imagine gamesharks would be the next target.

 

Fuck, that's STUPID. *cries*

 

I though its been like this for a while now. They use to ban Freeloader off ebay a few years past.

 

I had a SNES import adapter removed ages ago. Probably 2005.

 

Its not as if they are used to pirate games and in Assembler's case it is for a retro out of date console, they really are trying to just be a shop these days rather than an auction site.

 

Banning NES "Gyromite" carts to prevent any concealed import converter smuggling.

 

Ebay can burn in hell

I did some searching

This might help in the future

I'm guessing since some import converters double as backup/copy enablers, eBay is acting upon them.

*sigh*

 

German ebayers can be happy ebay didn't figure it out yet. According to the law, all imports from before the ratings were established are considered to be only for people of age "18 and above".

eBay Germany only allows items that are rated 16 max.

Yet there are a lot of imports available on ebay to date. I hope the day won't come when the consumer's interest it cut down to the ground. They already removed my auction for Star Soldier (Famicom 1987) because they game is "banned in your country". Yeah, right, it was banned in 1988 because of depiction of war and violence.

Oh yes. :dammit:

 

Oh dear, that's not good...been meaning to pick up one for Mega CD sometime.

At least I snagged a bunch for the Super Nintendo.

 

Those haven't been allowed in years.

 

I had an auction for my GameCube FreeLoader pulled AFTER I'd already been paid and sent the item to the buyer. I also had an auction for a SNES Action Replay MK3 which I bought on ebay pulled. But it's their site and if they want it to suck balls that's on them and other places can get your business then.

 

Shocking piece of news there.

 

what the fuck? I juts saw a gameshark...,

 

eBay once kicked off an auction of mine of a 2600 that was "modded" to run off 9v batteries and standard wall power.

The word "modded" got it flagged and removed for copyright infringement.

 

+1 :evil:

 

Lame, yet when I have been ripped off and bought fake games on ebay, they didn't care at all.

Me thinks they don't allow the sale of import adaptors simply to be seen doing something about 'pirate' games - while actually letting the profitable pirate auctions continue anyway.
