Relatively new to SE. Title pretty much says it all, am I screwed? The package in question is a $60 game. What are my other options? The only other time I've SEd was for another low-cost item back in October '17. I haven't SEd since then and made a bunch of legit purchases. Thinking about saying they've sent me the wrong game.

So... should I still attempt a refund? I doubt saying the package never arrived will work. Perhaps I can say that they've sent me the wrong game?

You have a couple of options as follows.

I doubt saying the package never arrived will work.

But saying the "Item" never arrived (In the package) will work.

Perhaps I can say that they've sent me the wrong game?

Given the game weighs next to nothing, using the (empty) box method when supposedly returning the Item will suffice.

Thanks! I'll try the first method then. I never tried the empty box method though. By empty box, do you mean leaving the game box empty or the package empty? Would it compromise my account?

The game box.

It will give the Impression that you've actually shipped the game (obviously you'll do nothing of the sort), but It was tampered with during transit, hence they'll receive an empty box. Be sure to make a small tear on the box & package and cover It with tape. This will be consistent with tampering.

Thanks! Got an easy refund by just saying the item never arrived like you said.

That's good to read.

You've now Identified one of their vulnerabilities, and can exploit It using a similar method for subsequent SEing.
