We've not been given dates so you don't know that. Anyway I would be tempted to refund after a quick check into the background of the buyer

I was just going by common sense. Things at that time of year take about 4 days to arrive (depending how they were sent), no post on Xmas day (when it was opened) makes 5 days, and I assumed the OP would post about it fairly soon after it happened.

Kind of irrelevant now anyway, as they bought it in November

This does happen I received an empty DVD case from Amazon before.

Yes, but the buyer might not know that, and if they're trying it on (which they most likely are), they might realise it's not worth the hassle on a lost cause. Empty cases have been in the news quite recently, the new Harry Potter release was hit by it (the special edition version) according to the Amazon forums.

See i'm not totally convinced that they are trying it on. As if your going to scam theres a lot easier ones to do. Must admit i never new empty cases were in the news. The OP is being very silly anyway telling the buyer once its opened its not there responsibility. They almost deserve to have to refund for trying it on themselves

if it's well over a month later they having your leg i would have thought the first thing you do is shake the box to see if there something inside

Only a fool would shake a DVD case before opening it. If its not secure all you would achieve would be to scratch it. Ive never known anyone get a new DVD then shake it before opening thats just plain silly

Also, bear in mind that the reason for the delay in notifying you of the problem may have been that the game was for a Christmas present

How would you feel if you bought a game on eBay, it was empty and the seller said "tough luck chap" and kept your money?

Won't be the same person, but the same sort of thing seems to have happened to somebody else too, so I guess the buyers story is not impossible.

Hi, sold a game brand new in factory seal, buyer contacts me this week after xmas to say her daugther unwrapped the seal to find no game there. I sell many games and the likly hood of this happening is not likly in the slightest.

Now there suggesting they should be refunded. Need some advice here, as anyone could say this story which isnt beliavable.

Happy new year.. thanks.

sorry but i find this quite beleivable, i bought my dad a dvd in hmv and it had no disk in, ive also known a relative to buy a ds game which didnt have the game in after undoing the seal and a colleague had the same thing with a dvd, so it does happen!

i would refund or send them another, after all theyve not got what they paid for! its not you fault, if its sealed you werent too know but its not your buyers fault either

Well what can I say. I know exactly who you are. You sold my Sister the game which was in fact sold on 18 December 2009. £22.42 was paid for it. You are a very rude inconsiderate person. An email was sent to you to tell you that the box was empty when it was opened. People are very busy this time of year and don't always find time to open things and check them over the Xmas period just for your information. You seem to be trying to make up dates to get people to agree with you when in fact you're lying to yourself. A claim has been filed with eBay and Paypal. We'll see what happens then. You're welcome to the empty box if you wish to refund the money for that too.

SO TO JUST GET THIS CLEAR, BOUGHT ON 18 DECEMBER FOR XMAS PRESENT, IT'S ONLY 11 JANUARY, NOT EVEN 1 MONTH YOU MORON.

Can you post a link to the auction from your recently bought list so others can see?? IF your username is on it maybe take a screen shot and blank your username out

I tried to copy/past, print screen of the purchase but it doesn't seem to want to paste in here. Any ideas?

It's done it!

He also keeps saying he bought it on the high street when he's selling description says unwanted gift. Make up your mind. You're just wasting everyones precious time.
