Buying games on ebay, experiences?

I was wondering if anyone had anything to point out about buying pc games online. I was planning to buy Warhammer Online off ebay since it usually goes for way cheaper than the retail price. Has anyone had bad experiences like faulty keys or what not?Candy-Star

I have had great experience buying games from Ebay because unlike say clothes the

vendor cannot eaisly mislead you.

One big word of warning NEVER buy a second-hand game. I bought Max Payne and it

was full of greasy substances as though the gamer ate burgers and chips all the time

he was playing. It was disgusting and I had to clean and disenfect every page of the

manual as well as the CD.

Yeah, never, ever buy a MMO used. It's CD key has probably already been attached to an account. And you are working only off of trust that the person you buy it from will give you the correct information to get into the game. But IF they do, make sure to change the password AS SOON AS you get into it, otherwise the person you bought it from will still have access to your account.

Ebay favors the buyer since we're the ones who are in majority and making a lot of transactions, you can get some nice deals on ebay that you wouldn't otherwise. Amazon is also good for buying games and Direct2Drive (and Steam) :)
