    The seller also reused a shopto label by just sticking my name over the original name when you check the tracking it shows as delivered to someone on the 30th June and then to me on the 11th July not sure how he got away with that but I haven't mentioned this to him even though I am not pleased about this either as the postage was not free 


    Could be they sold it new and sealed to Buyer A.  A opened it and returned, so seller taped it up and reused the listing.  Then re-used the label as well.

    If it's a home seller with only the one game (accidental duplicate gift) - they might just be oblivious to the fact that the seal is important.  If they are selling a lot of games - they should know and may well be dodgy (selling used as new or copying and selling on the original).

    But stick to your guns - the item was described as new, sealed and it wasn't.
    I need to think of something new here...

    If ebay works as it is intended, you will try and try to input the tracking number and you won't be able.  You will be left thinking you need to add it somehow and either give up or ring ebay.  Ignore it. It's ebay and it's ridiculous programming.  The system knows the ebay label details even if it doesn't let you know that!
