Thankfully I've not experienced anything like this before, and always thought of eBay of a safe place because of this. What was the sellers rating Mark? Or was he new?
Keep us updated on what ebay reply (if they reply at all...) :)

The general rule is to never buy anything on ebay that can be put on a cd or dvd. Unless you know about it ;)
Well, I've bought many CDs from there before, along with a game, and never had any problems. This chap had only one negative rating (for non-payment) whereas he had a number of positive ratings as a seller.
Ebay states they have a buyer protection thing up to (I think) £200? Although, since I paid with PayPal, they require me to go through PayPal first for any claims. And we all know what PayPal's like... sheesh.
Has anyone gone through the claim process before with PayPal?
My claim is currently 'under review'. Even though my initial claim is sent to both parties, the seller's response is kept private which I hardly think is fair.
Thanks for the link, Ms Buxton :)
My email back to him this afternoon in response to his email saying he wouldn't refund my money after I posted my negative feedback on Ebay:

XXX,
I posted that feedback after your initial response to my email asking for a refund, which was thus:
"I did not state that it was an original, it was stated used. This is not illegal it is a back up copy which I own the original "
That made your case quite clear. I'm saddened to see that you're being unco-operative when you're so clearly in the wrong, AND breaking the law.
If I don't see a positive resolution within the next 24 hours, I'm afraid I will have to report you to ELSPA (http://www.elspa.com/piracy/apu.asp) and EA Games' Piracy department, and eventually the police. I hope it will not come to this.

Hopefully that will sort it out - it probably is some kid trying to see if he can get away with it. ELSPA, EA and police should hopefully convince him to refund you.
I guess working in a legal department for 12 months paid off ;) Just over an hour after sending that, he refunded my money. Woo!
Good result. Glad it turned out ok. Report him anyway. ;) Muhaha
lmfao calling that legal? Idiot.
Also, that's not 'used' if he burns it. It's like saying GuildWars hot off the burning jigga-ma-whatsit is considered used because they just burned it onto the CD.
Good news it all got sorted
Heh, great result Mark :)
Blarg!!! Now send him back the CDs or YOU'LL be in the wrong. *chokes*Quote:

Two wrongs don't make a right!!! He's now in the wrong until he returns them!!! Thal shall not steal!!!! The other guy didn't make him buy from him!!
*chokes*

The guy did something illegal, and tried to screw him over. I don't know if crazy-asses like you believe in karma, but this is just a case of it. Personally, I'd still get the people to go after him for making illegal software, so he couldn't keep at it.
I'm not sure if returning them or not would be right here...
