Hacking Where to sell a Gateway 3DS in the UK

[aubreyk]

I have just installed boot9strap and thinking of selling my gateway 3ds.... however according to the gateway 3ds website, 11.3/11.4 is not even supported. So when someone buys the gateway card how can he / she install the latest emunand? I believe when you go to system update you will be forced to upgrade to the latest firmware which is 11.5.

If you can't install emunand then gateway is pretty much useless? you won't be able to use it to play games at all?

This isn't true, if you tell paypal it was a unlawful charge you will get your money back even if it's friends and family, I know as people have done it to me.

Mmm no? The reason there's no fee is that PayPal won't get involved with a F&F charge.

You can update to 11.2 by running a Poochy & Yoshi rom with update blocking turned off.

I can send you the emails if you want proof?

Also think how easy that would be for hackers "I will send paypal f and f payments to all of my hacker friends and there is nothing the original account holder can do to get the money back?".

Sure, you can try. PayPal won't do anything with a family and friends payment.

There is no "try" it's common sense but keep using that attitude it suites you.

I can tell you with absolute certainly they can, and in some cases, will. Especially if you can prove the recipient specifically requested it as an attempt to circumvent mediation, either through forum posts or email exchanges.

I'll be happy to see some proof, but until then I don't believe you :-)

Edit: Bah, it's a silly argument for the internet. Believe what you like.

To be eligible for buyer protection you have to not make a Personal Transaction, which is defined as not a goods & services transaction.

If you don't use goods & services there is no buyer protection.

And in certain countries and jurisdictions that clause is utterly irrelevant. Keep in mind, Paypal goes out of its way to avoid excessive attention from regulatory and consumer protection bodies. I've seen it reversed, without even threatening a chargeback. Take from that what you will, believe it or don't as you like. As I said, it's a really silly argument for a board focused on console modding and ultimately off-topic for the discussion. Carry on.

Edit: I'm obviously not recommending ever USING friends and family for purchases, as it's exponentially more difficult for dispute resolution. That's the limit of the thread relevance.

Ok, well, I've never heard of it happening and can't find any instances or reports of it happening on the Web, so...
