With the way that ebay/paypal works, there's no luck involved.

Buyer makes claim
Seller defends claim
ebay doesn't give a flying fuck about sellers, buyer gets money back

I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve his money back, but just that there's nearly zero reason to worry about buying most anything on ebay anymore. They'll side with the buyer 99% of the time.

Oh, I'm aware. ;)

I meant "good luck" in that I hope if goes smoothly. It's still a pain in the ass to go through a returns process, even if the seller is truly 100% in the wrong.

I will add one thing to this. You are not 100% guaranteed to get your money back. A friend of mine (who is a member here, but not active anymore) bought a Little Samson through eBay for market value. It turned out to be fake which he proved by providing pictures of the fake board. eBay denied his claim to a refund because he "altered the item" by opening it. He continued to fight it since the eBay employee who denied the claim clearly knows nothing of video games to make such a clueless statement, but as far as I know, he was out something like $600. This happened in February of this year.

***EDIT***

Here is a screenshot of the conversation.

palmer6strings:
I would have kept fighting that shit, anyone that rips me off for that much money will be getting something negative somehow.

Arseen:
Counterfeit claim should go thru even if game was opened.
And if he paid with PayPal he can make a claim there as well as Ebay is separate from PayPal nowadays.
