what about his own ebay shop or is that part of being a power seller
what would you call high positive feedbackNo Links in Signature by site rules - MSE Forum Team 20 -
own shop is good, they cost money to run and are easy to trace, scammers don't bother as much
Good, well 100% but if they have less its ok
If they have 5 positive feedback and the items are all less than £5 be careful. If he has 5 and they are high priced items either sold to a buyer with highish feedback, or bought off a seller with high feedback.0 -
Watch out for people saying "EXTREME" in the listing as this is means the game will only work on a modified machine for instance it may say Saints Row extreme version but it is just a pirated copy of the game0

Like others have said check your seller carefully. Look at feedback, 99% or above, but also read the feedback, do the positiives say anything about him selling fakes, does he always sell games, is there any change in his posting style that could indicate a hijacked account.
Pay only by paypal backed by a credit card.

Hi,
i buy xbox 360 games all the time off ebay usually pay half normal price - used titles but never got a bad on yet! the good thing is you can normally get your money back after you#ve completed game.
i dont buy import versions - wait ages and bit risky. my tip is to use buy it now and change list view to highest first and then scroll down till you find your title at the lowest price= most of time cheaper than normal bid auctions lol
oh and make sure uk seller0 -
the play asia games aren't import they're region free.
From the few I've bought, never had to pay any customs, always get them one at a time tho!0 -
ive found that theres uk games on there,No Links in Signature by site rules - MSE Forum Team 20
