Thats why you go in the store and buy it.. not Ebay.

Well you can report it to ebay under your options after buying the item. you have to go to report item not received. the description sais if you did NOT receive the item or the item was NOT received as described. If the item page sais nothing about it being USED then you cannot do anything. However if it says that it is NOT in use then you can report it. I would think that the cd key was fairly cheap and even if you did get scammed this time, look at the persons feedback next time before you buy something else. Consider this a life long lesson, and even though ive never been scammed before i would hate to feel what its like to be scammed, so i hope my response makes you feel a little bit comfortable. If in the end you cannot do anything about getting your money back then i would leave very negative feedback for this seller. Make it count because this is ur only chance to get back at him and it stays there for basically ever. Good luck man.

If you bought a used account on ebay, they should change the email address of the account for you, then give you the password.

the guy just gave me the key. he was real nice and everything gave me his msn talked for a while. he even left positive feedback saying i was good to do business with. Also he sent an email with the cdkey and said, (starred for obvious reaosns) "e64478-*****-3f*76-*****-m**g9
Thanks and have fun. I have more CD Keys Email me back If you would like to request a different CD Key. ". This is f***ed up . I put in a paypal claim and a ebay claim. ill talk to the guy tomorow if he signs on to msn see what he says.

And you we're like "ok" when you read that? Christ, what were you thinking, that's "warez", man. Illegal, not allowed, verboten et cetera.
Well, you learned your lesson.

No sympathy from me on this one. Most of these people realize they're buying essentially "stolen" goods. They rightfully get burned for their greed.

Well, just one thing: youre the moron here. What the hell where u thinking? Game sold out everywhere? And knowing that the game is available online? U just wanted to have it cheaper. So now, shame on you.

Well I'll give you a heads up on what you can do when you buy on ebay.
Rule number
1.Check their feed back.
2. Dont buy from ppl that have less than 10 sales/purchases.
3. Read their feedbacks if their are a few.
4. If they have more than 1 or 2 negatives forget it .. unless they got 1000s of sales an then go read them. Your going to have some people that will disagree or expect the world in their purchase.
5.If there is ANY question about the product or its nature send a message. If they dont respond. Dont buy. If they do, its more written support for your cause.
6. (MOST IMPORTANT) ALWAYS pay by credit card.
Now I'll tell you why, Charges on credit cards can be pulled back within 60 days. If you have a viable reason and explain it to the CC company. They will back you up. because MO dont get you your money back. Debit cards are not back by the bank they are backed by you. Paypal seems to favor the seller rather than the buyer, they are slow to respond and generally dont care about your problem. Why.. because if they give you your money back.. they dont get paid.
In addition, it doesnt matter what PP finds in their decision. If the credit card company says they back there customer... the money is accually taken away from paypal because they are the middle man. So it encourages them to go in your way in findings. I got scammed two times out of over 200 purchases on ebay, and in both cases I got my money charged back to my card immediately.

never buy an online game, or any game that requires an account, on auction sites. chances are the cd keys have already been used to create accounts.
i thought this is common sense... or not...

omg .. you bought a cd key off of some guy who has 'lots'? 'If that doesn't work, contact me I will give you another?'
red flag right there ... Anet should pull your account, track you down, torture you to tell them all contact information of said man, and sick brutus and his dogs on that cracker jack.

EverBlue
It IS illegal. Accounts are not to be resold, if I believe.

Read the eula.
Epiph

its not too bad for Anet ... its more likely your using a stolen account is what I mean. Too bad for the victim
Epiph
no. i got the cdkey not the account

Hmm, highly illegal.
I actually bought guild wars yesterday, came home, opened the box, installed it, and when I went to find the cd key, it had already been scratched away and used.
I took it straight back to the game shop, and they said that they had refunded a copy of the game that very same day, and it must have got mixed up.
Why would they refund a copy of the game, considering whoever had bought it was bound to just get the cd key and then dowload the client and play it for free.
Anyway, I managed to get the game changed for one that hadn't been used, and have played guild wars for about 8 hours now, and its quite good admittedly. have joined a guild, got a lvl 6 w/e character, and am looking forward to getting some nice armour crafted, as i'm still wearing the stuff that i had from when i created my character.

Mandy Memory - Taken right from the EULA ->
You may not (a) sublicense, rent, lease, loan or otherwise transfer the Software or the Service (or any part thereof), including without limitation access keys
So selling cd-keys online via any means *IS* illegal and can get the account banned if ANet finds out and has the evidence to do so.
