Status : Online | However, a lot of people buying warez *know* they are buying warez and do not care, so people selling burned copies on CDRs for 0.99 often have high feedback.
Use your common sense.
If a game is new and the price is REALLY low, especially if the seller has multiple copies, it's almost certainly a pirate.
Another sign - is there a picture? A picture of the *actual* item, not a mockup of some screenshots mashed together or a box shot clearly taken off amazon.com?
ebay doesnt pay much attention to piracy reports unless they are filed by authorised agents of the company being ripped off, and they have to be filed by fax, which is a pain for indie developers who may not have fax machines.

Status : Offline | Not have a fax machine? What kind of amateurish outfit is this? You can turn any computer into a fax machine with fax software even if you don't have a machine. We used to do this where I worked many years ago, plugged the phone line into a modem and set up a fax program. Saved on paper, too!
