Thanks for info fallenangel.

Another one now. The winner of my item has given me two different postal addresses. He personally mailed me one via ebay but the postal address that came with Paypal is different.

I hate ebay!

I recently bought 2 n64 carts off ebay, and the seller said he'd combine postage, and even replied with the new total, but despite contacting him several times, and sending 'request new total' things, he still hasn't sent me a new invoice, so I can't pay. Now he isn't responding at all.

What do?

What is happening with Paypal?

I go to withdraw my funds to my bank account only to find that my bank account that has been listed for nearly 10 yrs is not there anymore.
I go to re enter my bank details & now they are saying they need a bank statement & a form of photo ID faxed to them. WTF is going on?

Can we say that this VGA business is getting right out of hand now? It's bad enough for retro stuff, but this?

How the hell everything that's sealed and isn't damaged gets anything less than 100 is beyond me anyway.

I actually lol'd when I read this:

This game is enclosed in an acrylic UV resistant case. It cannot be harmed in any way.

I'm assuming VGA is using something very similar to how comics get graded.

CGC is considered the leader in the comic grading field. Here is their scale ...

for the 3rd time in my paypal history my account has been frozen whilst they conduct fraud/money laundering checks

its bloody frustrating as i have a balance i cant get to and i wanted to buy some stuff that i cant

always seems to come at the wrong time plus glad alot of my recent sale was done outside paypal as it would have happened sooner

Those scales are funny -EVERYTHING that goes through a manufacturing process (cardboard/paper/plastic metal) has some form of imperfection. I can imagine those fools holding an old sealed new game up to the light, examining it with a jewellers eyepiece, mumbling "yes, this one looks super mint....no wait its just mint, let's give it a score of 97...."

Gamers really are a rare breed..... How much off a dong would you feel when some at home asks you why you have a games console in a plastic case to keep it "fresh" lol
