That poor kid (Buyer mistake on Amazon)

I'm selling off my old games I'm not playing anymore on Amazon. I've actually been getting decent money for them as well since I just want to get rid of them, and I don't worry about getting huge profit. Anyway I'm checking my feedback, and I notice this entry:

"My fault, but when I looked up item I typed in pokemon mystery Dungeon. I didn't pay any attention that this wasn't a pokemon. My son was a little disappointed. "

Yes, some mom had purchased Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer.

Oddly she didn't opt to return it I guess. I was a little annoyed that she only gave me a 4 as well. It's not like I misled her in any way.

You should have refunded her money, let her keep the game and then sent her Pokemon.

You mean you actually get feed back. I sold off my entire PSP game collection (about 20 games) and my PSP (I even accidently left my copy of Loco Roco 2 in the PSP) and got zero feedback. I didn't want to nag for fear of getting low scores.

Well, I would say about 10-15% of people leave feedback.

The most dispicable movement there, pal, you are lucky she gave you a 4! >: (

lol, well, what can you do? I say leave it at that, that entry stating the mystery dungeon mistake and the 4, if they can read it, then nobody will care as to why you got a 4

I don't mind. Shit I think someone gave me a four because they said the game was played, in a USED sale.

Re: That poor kid (Buyer mistake on Amazon)

My seller account got banned on Amazon because some lady bought Pokemon Red from me and then said it was a bootleg because it "wasn't a DS game". I tried appealing but to no avail

Pokemon is the downfall of sellers on Amazon!

So, let me get this straight. You've got a copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, as well as Invader Zim seasons 1-3? Are they in good condition?

They give free dvds w/ the purchase of a house now? I see a new bargain thread starting. You probably would've gotten the bonus disc had you not chose to rent.

Re: That poor kid (Buyer mistake on Amazon)

I have 2 non-positive feedbacks at Half.com, one the buyer bought the game for the wrong system (it was listed correctly, I could check the listing and order history), and the other mixed me up with another seller. I get feedback from around 30% or so of the buyers, but I think it's this high since it's a part of Ebay, and people are more aware of the feedback system. I've had a few other complaints here and there generally when the USPS manages to mangle a well-padded shipment, but I just refund the money and let the buyer keep the game/movie.
