Using the Wii U internet Browser, I ordered Mario Galaxy 2 in Used Very Good Condition about a week or so ago.  Yesterday my package arrived.  With anticipation, I opened it and when I opened the game case, THERE WAS NO GAME DISC !!!

 

I paid $24 for the used game with shipping.  I got involved in a heated debate with the seller, filed a claim, and left awful feedback.

 

The seller insisted that in their description they clearly stated the listing was for a game case only and not the game, I insisted that description was no where in the item description.

 

It was not until I went on Amazon with my PC and not my Wii U that I realized The Wii U Internet Browser does not display a sellers text under the column CONDITION ... it only shows you the condition ..... Good, Very Good, Like New, etc but not the sellers description of what you are buying.  

 

I am just putting this out there so no one makes the same mistake on Amazon that I did ... I have been using the Wii U Internet Browser a lot ... I will never use it to buy a used item on Amazon ever again ......

I'm working on it ... Amazon is issuing a refund and I removed my bad feedback but the drama it caused was unsettling ... Nasty emails back and forth with the seller...

Exactly, you can imagine how infuriated I was ... My defence was, its Amazon, not eBay ... Its OK to sell just a case on eBay but not amazon, no one is expecting that.

That is very unfortunate and its good to know at least you should be getting your money back. In all honesty I don't know why people use Internet browsers on game consoles. Personally I never do as the browsing experience is far better on my iPad, iPhone and Mac.

They do it all the time on Amazon/Ebay. I got send a broken Pro controller and I got a refund, then again it was used... Still the quality was set as Good.

Was the fact that it was only the case written in the case?

Personally, I never use the internet for things like that on any device that isn't a personal computer. I do use the Wii U internet sometimes, but I prefer PC butwhatever.

It kinda sucks for you, but I hope you get a refund back.

I believe the listing was set up to scam someone but the seller protected themselves with a clause, but with the Wii U brouser, I could not see it.
