Smurf Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Contact the seller of the item and get the code from them. If they don't get back to you or refuse to, then contact eBay and report them. eBay might be able to refund you - as it's likely that you got scammed here. But reputably from Steam store. It's clear that you can purchase online. And Steam takes PayPal (afaik). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Fraz - if they already used the code on Steam - won't the code be locked to their Steam account? Is there any penalties for people that sell on their used code from Steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 1, Yes and 2, there should be- not sure if there are though. The seller cant sell it and e bay shouldnt be allowing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_gee1989 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 So there no way off getting a new code for the game ? Plus what about someone that buys the pre owned one from there local game store ? Take it they can't use the game they bought ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't think you can detach the code from your Steam account. Which is something that needs looking at, if it's true! Just buy the game for the full price. It's not that expensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_gee1989 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 i only bought it off ebay because i was out off the country and could not wait to buy it Plus what about people it buy it pre owned ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think technically on the EULA (end user license agreement) you're not meant to be able to sell it on. You're entitled to your copy of it but not redistribution of the game. So you can't install the game then sell it to someone else. You agree to these terms upon installation of the game. If someone has bought the game, installed it, then tried to sell it on, I think they are in violation of the EULA - and should be reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 i only bought it off ebay because i was out off the country and could not wait to buy itPlus what about people it buy it pre owned ? You can't buy it pre-owned. Technically what you are paying for is the code and not the actual game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
