well to either download or "back up" games to....or just easier to use for novices like me!

Not necessarily. In fact most cartridge only sales on Ebay are probably genuine. Unlike with consoles like the PS3 and Xbox 360, people often throw away or lose the boxes and manuals for DS games because they don't carry them around with the console.

If they can supply them that would be noted in the listing. But people do genuinely often throw away or lose the cases for DS games. It's not unusual.

Cyclo Evolution is my fave card for the DS. You need to add a micro sd card to store the games. I have a card slot on my laptop, or you can buy a card reader, and then just drag and drop the games onto it.

There are loads of sites to download games. Check google.

Unfortunately a great many are also fakes. Have a look in ebays help pages, there are a few pages about spotting fake ds games. They are more common than people think. Def. avoid sellers not in UK, be wary of others.
