God I'm so stupid (eBay)

I bought Assassin's Creed off someone on eBay. He was 1 week late in shipping it and upon receiving it, I decided to give him positive feedback after 30 minutes of playtime (I got a rush of excitement seeing the package since it took forever for it to come - This is why I'm stupid).

I put it into my xbox360 and then after 30 minutes of playing I decided to leave him positive feedback (as stated above). After another 30 minutes or so, the game freezes. I just restart the console and start playing again. After another 1 hour or so of playing, the game freezes (this time with an error of CD UNREADABLE).

I opened up the cd-tray and flip the CD upside down where I see 2 huge cracks near the spindle part of the CD. My xbox360 doesn't make grinding noises and it has never broken a single cd to date. I quickly get on eBay and inform the seller that there are 2 huge cracks.

He says that if I ship it back to him, he'll inspect it, and if it indeed is broken, then he'll refund me my money. He received it today in the mail and has told me in the Paypal claim that the CD is completely broken (not totally but it doesn't even play) and because of this, I'm obviously the culprit since I left him positive feedback and then complained around 2 hours after leaving him feedback. He also stated in his last statement that he retracts his previous offer of refunding my money after receiving the broken item and is willing to ship me back the broken item.

I told him that it works on my xbox360 (besides the freezing every 30 minutes - 1 hour) and that because it doesn't work on his xbox360, that shows that he probably broke it before shipping it to me and then broke it again after I shipped it to him. I mean, it's obvious that his xbox is much worse since it can't even play a semi-broken cd while mine can.

I have escalated the transaction to a Paypal claim and hope to win the case since it's complete bullshit what this seller's doing and i'm a complete moron for leaving him positive feedback (but in my defense, I tried out the game for 30 minutes first).

By the way, my gamertag shows that I played the game for a few hours - this should be proof enough but he thinks I already own a perfectly working copy.

Cliffs (has a lot less detail)
1-bought a game from an ebayer
2-he shipped it 1 week late
3-i played the game for 30 minutes and then left him positive feedback
4-i find out the game freezes every 1 hour or so and let him know
5-tells me that he will refund me my money after he receives the game
6-He receives the game and now tells me that i'm a liar because it doesn't even play on his xbox even though it worked on mine
7-tells me to escalate it to a papyal claim
8-i escalated it and am hoping for the best

Agreed. Eat the cost, learn your lesson from next time.

Even if you're 'right' you're probably going to lose, and based on the evidence, you *should* lose.

That's pretty much all there is. I wouldn't drag this out, you messed up and didn't get lucky. Inspect and test next time. Have a beer and relax with some other game :beer:

nope - i just stuck it in and since it played for 30 minutes, I assumed it was fine

Whatever, since he's an xbox360 game seller, I'm just going to win a lot of his auctions (since I only recently got a 360) and leave him negative feedback for every little mistake he makes

he's a total asshole - I even gave him the option of shipping it to me and showing him via a video that it plays (somewhat) on my xbox360 to prove that I didn't lie

Life isn't always fair. Consider your experience a fairly inexpensive lesson learned. Usually, in these situations, you can look back and see how you inadvertantly contributed to the outcome. THAT is what you can change, going forward. :thumbsup:

You lose for not looking at the CD before you put it in your 360. Seriously, who just blindly puts a disc into the drive? You should just be happy it didn't break and shatter in the drive. You're not going to win, so let it go.

Seriously, LET IT GO! Not to mention, I'm pretty sure a seller can deny your bid on his auctions. So your plan won't work. Just think of this as a lesson learned.

Well - I was so excited that it finally came after being 1 week late

hard for me to let it go. It's immature of me to do this, but I'm going to see if a friend can use his account and buy out his auctions

That is a very poor excuse...
Ever heard the phrase "Buyer beware"?

:roll:

Stop acting like a child. Man up and accept that you were just as responsible for this situation as the seller.

Find out where he lives.

Drive to his house.

MAKE HIM PAY. DEARLY.

Baseball bat, mace, knife, makes no difference to me. Be sure and tell him who you are and show him the game. Tell him you coming here is YOUR assassin's creed.




End.
