    Like the title says, on eBay. Someone bought a game off me and they have zero feedback. I know everyones gotta start somewhere, just haven't had this happen to me yet, and it's a $70 game. What are everyones thoughts on this? Refund or trust the guy?

    Hahaha, so eBay is alright if a new buyer ends up screwing you over? I haven't found a clear answer on the website yet.

    Take plenty of pictures of your cartridge to avoid being scammed. Make sure that it works before sending it too. They are often one time buyers, you don't have to worry I believe.

    Thanks for the tip. I've got plenty of pics, and it will be shipped tracked. I know it boots up and everything. I'll probably take the risk.

    Ship with signature. Tracking is meaningless.

    I used to sell a decent amount of stuff on ebay that was niche or rare. That in it of itself tends to attract new buyers. I had a few and never had any problems. Of course it's mileage my vary.

    But as for tips, yes if you ship tracking with signature, there is no way for the buyer to say it didn't arrive when it shows shipped. The only way they can scam you is opening a "Significantly not as described" case, it's not worth fighting ebay over it, as a seller you will always lose. Best to just tell the guy to ship it back and give the refund.

    Actually, I've won a SNAD case. It was a repair part and they clearly had no clue what they were doing.

    Ebay refunded the guy and I kept my money too.

    But this certainly won't be the norm
