Just used Ebay again after some time of non usage, i bought four DVD's from ebay auctions. Which arrived today i was shocked to find that three of the four (bought all from different sellers) are bootleg copies. I find it most irritating. As all their auctions dont mention this. The thing that really irritates me most is in their auctions they have all specified the DVD is a DVD9 disk (higher capacity Disk) and when i have received them and scanned them they are all DVD5's. As to be completely honest at the reduced price i was paying would have not minded so much if they were a bootleg but a exact copy bootleg on a DVD9 Disk but to fit onto a DVD5 full with menus and extras large compression of the disk has to occur resulting in a major quality downgrade so this is what irritates me the most.

So i thought i would give some warning to other members about this.

Maybe they just omitted the menus???

This is total crap - Darn! I'm so sorry for you Anthony.

You've got to be very careful with eBay. My dad tried to buy an album by christian artist Brent Bourgeois, and he was conned when the seller changed the rules for the purchase. So, we eventually had to send an e-mail to him so that we could cancel the transaction. >:(

Davo. :)
