any way to see item description after you buy it on Amazon?
maybe im just being dumb but is there any way to see the description of an item besides "very good" after you buy it?

Depends on the seller, sometimes they'll elaborate, sometimes they won't.
If you've already bought it though, it's a little too late isn't it?

no no im pretty sure every single one of the things i bought last night said it was complete. I just want to be able to say whether it was my fault or theirs if an item comes to me incomplete.AppleQueso wrote:Depends on the seller, sometimes they'll elaborate, sometimes they won't.

Well, I know if you go into your orders and select "Order Details", you can at least see if the condition says "new", "used - very good", etc. Not sure if you can fetch the description though, at least I'm not seeing anything like that.ninjainspandex wrote:no no im pretty sure every single one of the things i bought last night said it was complete.

if they print you a packing slip, the description will be on it. i always make sure to send a packing slip with any of my amazon orders i ship out for this very reason. that way someone can't be angry if i describe an item correctly and it's not what they thought it was.

Re: any way to see item description after you buy it on Amaz
This weekend I got a $100 amazon gift card with my credit card reward points so i bought 5 sega genesis games with it and i still have $10 left over
. I'm 99% sure they all said good to very good condition and all complete. I just want to make sure no one pulls a fast one on me, I wish amazon was as organized as ebay but i suppose thats why its cheaper.

I've noticed this as well, and it annoys me. There have been times where I could have sworn the item was described better than it actually was. Yet when I go back to look for a description on my order history, there is none, so I have no proof. On eBay they'll show you the exact listing as it looked before you buy it. Wish Amazon did the same.

Re: any way to see item description after you buy it on Amaz
The item description they gave (like-new, very-good etc) is a rating system a lot of sellers don't know about it seems. I bought a "very-good" copy of super street fighter 2 for sega with no item description and it came cart only. Seller told me the cart was in "very-good" condition. I linked them to the amazon definition of "very-good" and they paid for the return shipping and gave me a full refund. On older systems, don't expect it to come CIB unless the written description says that. You could complain later but that is a pain in the ass.

when i list stuff i always make sure to properly describe it. i agree it's annoying to see the same copied/pasted description that doesn't really apply to the item you're looking at (WE TEST ALL OUR GAMES 100%++ and all that).ninjainspandex wrote:This weekend I got a $100 amazon gift card with my credit card reward points so i bought 5 sega genesis games with it and i still have $10 left over.

No I'm pretty damn sure i only bought ones that had good description and were complete. As for the remaining $10 todays lightning deal was for Dead Space 3 it was marked down to $40 for today only with free shipping so i ended up only paying $30 out of my pocket.aaron wrote:when i list stuff i always make sure to properly describe it. i agree it's annoying to see the same copied/pasted description that doesn't really apply to the item you're looking at (WE TEST ALL OUR GAMES 100%++ and all that).ninjainspandex wrote:This weekend I got a $100 amazon gift card with my credit card reward points so i bought 5 sega genesis games with it and i still have $10 left over.
