I want to buy sims 3 off ebay because its really cheap on there but should I trust it? Will the copy be bad? I realy want it to be a good last longing game:) thanks if you could help
 
i wanted to do the same thing, but most of the cheap sims 3 was from Malaysia and i wasent sure whether to trust it, i mean you never know what people put onto ebay, i think you should just wait for your birthday.
hope i helped ;)
 
Go to the persons place who is selling it if its near buy, otherwise just wait until you get enough money or until the prices come down a bit, usually they'll come down buy about 10 pounds after a month or 2, ebay should be your last resort if the seller isnt near you
 
There are too many variables to be able to answer yes or no.

Check the buyer's rating. If it is 99% or higher, then go for it. However, read the description of the item carefully and check on the return policy. And check the shipping rates.

I bought a WII and my granddaughter is quite pleased with it.

Best of luck.
 
It's generally fine. There are a few things you should always check:

*The seller's feedback rating, scan thru to see if there are any negative comments about transactions from other customers.

*Ask any questions you have about the item BEFORE placing a bid.

*Is the game coded for your region, or is it an overseas one? I have found buying overseas electronics are often poor quality and difficult to return, replace or get refunds for.

*Is it marked BNIB (brand new in box) or second hand? - It's more likely to be genuine if it comes in original packaging

*Ask if it is genuine or a burnt copy - don't waste your money on pirate copies, they don't last long and are generally poorer quality.

*Postage costs. Some items have a cheap auction price with ridiculously high postage costs, so include postage when calculating to make sure you can afford it.

*Check if they have a returns policy or money back guarantee in case the item you get does not match the description or is a pirate copy.

Good luck, and happy bidding :)
