You can explain it to the seller and say you made a mistake. Maybe the seller wont approve or believe you, but it could be worth a try.

 

[Tripon]

Were you high at the time of the purchase, OP? It's okay, you can tell us...

If the seller won't take it back (and they're well within their rights not to, as the listing is marked correctly and shows the right picture), then you'll just have to sell it to recoup some of your losses.

There is some question of the listing marked correctly. There's no case in the picture, but he marked it as having a case and manual.

 

[Dash Kappei]

It's Ebay you can just send it back to the guy and lie and say he sent you a bag of dogshit and paypal will just refund you and fuck him over no matter how much proof he has.

Is this true? I don't think I should sell my PS3 on ebay then...

 

[Solid Samus]

Personally I don't even know why people still use eBay.

 

[Tripon]

No, you'd get fucked over if you sell on eBay.

 

[weekend_warrior]

How the hell did you manage to do that? It says "The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time" right in the title, there's even a picture of the cartridge.

 

[purnoman3000]

Hate to be a dick but OP failed on so many levels. Even if it was the right game, he paid 38$ for a used copy of a 40$ brand new game



.

 

[-MD-]

Reading is fun.

 

[NIGHT-]

Does that even come with the case? LOL

 

[NegativeCero]

I have no advice to give. I just find it amazing that you managed to bid on something without realizing what it was. I'm curious if you searched for just "Zelda" or typed "A Link Between Worlds."

 

[Nemo]

This is probably the most horrible I've ever felt laughing at a gif

Bravo

 

[ozfunghi]

Oops, wrong topic, i thought this was about Zelda WiiU...
Nah, just kidding OP, i can read!

 

[Spieler Eins]

Is this true? I don't think I should sell my PS3 on ebay then...

I didn't have a prob selling a PS3 a couple of months ago that actually was in a worse condition than I've described lol
even got good feedback

 

[Htown]

I understand making a mistake

but this was like

six mistakes

 

[Tripon]

hahaha. Maybe I should try to sell some of my games over eBay. Anyone want Fire Emblem PoR, and RD? Reserve price is $100, lol.

 

[Qurupeke]

lol Hilarious.

 

[Fried Food]

live with your mistakes and move on

 

[AtomskEater]

There is some question of the listing marked correctly. There's no case in the picture, but he marked it as having a case and manual.

Then that's rather lucky for OP, and it's time to file a dispute.

 

[Sapiens]

Just do a Paypal chargeback and tell seller not to ship. Customer is always right even if they are wrong on eBay.

 

[demigod]

OP is a true cheapass.

Just do a Paypal chargeback and tell seller not to ship. Customer is always right even if they are wrong on eBay.

Yeah do this since its not shipped yet. Its not really a return when it hasn't left yet.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Well, OoT 3D is awesome. So you could've done worse.

 

[SRTtoZ]

wait a second...

I'm getting the vibe from this thread that OoT is not a good game. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Good game? Yes, very. A bit overdone after having played it and beat it for so many years? Yea that too.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I still am shocked you are buying it from ebay.

I thought people stopped using ebay a minute ago.

Rarely any good deals in that site.

Ok

 

[Naythan]

Gonna have to agree with the thread title

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

What? How did you make a mistake like this? The title blatantly says "Nintendo 3ds The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3d Game"

 

[Heimbeck]

We all do stupid things sometimes OP, but maybe you can put it on eBay and find someone else who wants to pay $40 for it.

Unlikely but they did it so you might have some luck.

 

[mobius006]

Is this true? I don't think I should sell my PS3 on ebay then...

EBay is super buyer friendly unfortunately. However with this being under 200 the seller just needs to have proof of shipment and delivery and he should be fine. Even with a PayPal claim.

OP the seller would be smart to refund you since you seem to be getting a ton of shady advice in here. It wouldn't be worth my time for the extra 12 bucks profit vs what this should have sold for.

In the future just by the game at a store or digital I stead of trying to save like 8 bucks.

 

[Black Door]

EBay sold a vita for $150 and the 3ds xl for $145 just yesterday.

 

[SkullHydra]

He barely saved $2, and that's if he would've got the right game. (Not including a discount for it being used)

Why would you ever buy a used game that's not significantly cheaper than a new copy? OP failed pretty hard.

Spoiler

Don't worry, we all make mistakes.

 

[NIN90]

I dunno, maybe try to function like a real human being and contact the seller?

EDIT: lmao I just clicked the link and the "More chances to get what you want" row is entirely filled with OoT copies.

 

[NolbertoS]

I always make sure to read the auction's carefully, and u should've checked amazon, target and best buy for a price comparison. I only use ebay for rare games

 

[Windam]

LMFAO I am too amused by this. :'D

 

[elektrixx]

It could've been worse. I preordered Medal Of Honor Warfighter twice because I forgot about the first order.

 

[Grinchy]

This sucks, OP, but let it be a $38 lesson.

 

[scitek]

lolol

why did you post this?

 

[Oblivion]

Actually, sounds like you bought the right Zelda, to me.

 

[Shady859]

OP is a dumbass, this is why I used to love Ebay.

And now real advice and why I quit straight up selling and just use buy it now with immediate payment required. DO NOT PAY and just take a non-payment strike on your account. Still yet you paid $5 below retail for a cart only, Gamestop must have been closed..

Edit: I missed the part about you noticed after you paid... That's even worse on your part you had it all in your face again. facepalm

Please tell me people don't still say this. What a fucking annoying trend.

 

[n64coder]

I once bought 3 copies of the same game by accident from Amazon last year.

Surprisingly, this is not difficult to do when you do preorders. I bought 2 copies of X & Y each because I had done a pre-order in July and then anothe preorder in Sept forgetting that I already had it on order.

I've never seen a reason to preorder a game. I did it was I was younger but I eventually stopped and nothing changed. B&M/Online stores never sell out of full priced games.

Uh, Amazon posts that you bought an item on a certain date on the top of the page, even for pre-orders.

 

[Heimbeck]

I never would if it wasn't for Amazon.
Although there were shortages for GTA V, didn't last very long though.

 

[Prophane33]

why would you spend $38 on a used cart-only game anyway?

I'm glad someone else asked this. I think OP has some serious issues.

Edit: Joke/troll topic?

 

[talisayNon]

my dyslexic friend accidentally bought a Gracie instead of a Garcia beanie baby back in the day.

I wanted to strangle him. we were in business together.

 

[prag16]

Edit: Wait, why the fuck did you pay almost $40 for a used, cart-only copy of a game that's readily available on store shelves?

This was my first thought. ..

 

[-MD-]

I didn't even notice the price hahahaha. $38.59 for a used copy of a $39.99 game. Wow.


I picked up a brand new copy at Kmart on Thanksgiving for $29.99

 

[Mista Koo]

At least you got a good game. I accidentally bought KOF12 instead of 13.

 

[JBourne]

eBay has so many huckster. You gotta read the fine print.

The title of the listing is "Nintendo 3ds The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3d Game"
