It's given me back up that I was given a pirate copy of a game I had to wait well over 2 weeks for >_> Thanks for this, I had the exact same issues with the exact same game but through a seller on amazon which they picked for me (i just ordered the game like normal on amazon expecting them to send me a copy but they chose a 3rd party seller).

The only evidence that I have that <i>someone</i> read my reports is that the user and his auctions had disappeared by that evening. Which is good, at least there's someone will promptly act on it once someone else points out the piracy. I do occasionally see articles about Nintendo's anti-piracy efforts (like <a href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/02/20/1638227/Nintendo-On-the-Hunt-For-More-Scalps" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this one</a> from a few days ago), but it looks like they are after the biggest distributors of copied games, as well as people who make the devices that allow the games to be copied. Which of course makes sense, they should go after the biggest problems first. Unfortunately, no, I didn’t get a response back from Nintendo or eBay.

There is so much fraud on eBay, and everyone is playing ignorant about it when asked. They just say "well it SAYS its not DSi", which is just retarded to admit if you're selling DS games. Nintendo never released games for DS that do not work with DSi. I would like to know what Nintendo and eBay are doing about this because its a huge problem. Did you ever get a response from Nintendo?
