Hmm... yep, I see your point, you can get bad experiences on there
However, this experience won't put me off buying and selling on eBay
It should be quite obvious though, that you should be describing your items accurately, otherwise it is likely for item not as described!
Hmm, sounds interesting
I don't tend to deal with gameboy games as I rarely play my Gameboy Advance, though I do keep it for just in case I want to play the single GBA game I have, or my old, ancient Gameboy Original games! Who remembers the Gameboy Original?
Oh dear, are bootlegs games that are not genuine, or are they irreparable, or other? As I don't know much about Gameboy games (especially the original and advance games). In regards to the feedback best bet is to look at the most current feedback ratings & also the detailed seller ratings (stars out of 5). The seller that I bought these dodgy MP3s from has over 1700 feedbacks in total, 98.8% positive feedback and all detailed seller ratings were 4.9/5 or 5/5, depending on the category! And yet they still refused to list the item as for parts or not working, which was what all untested goods should be in (as it then covers you if it doesn't work) - though as I have said before, it only takes about 2 minutes to quickly test an MP3 player, so there really was no excuse...
I tried Gumtree once but it involves local collections etc, and eBay is much simpler and easier - just describe it (accurately!), get paid via Paypal, send it through the post & away you go
