Only trust eBay sellers with good feedback, and read the descriptions. It shouldn't be too hard to find s legit cartridge.
Alternitively, try local used game stores if you have any near where you live

The item descriptions, to be more specific
>>24936647
They may have 99.8% good feedback, but then you see like 4 reviews that state that the cartridge is counterfeit.
No gaming stores where I live (Latvia), unfortunately.
If you're fine with cart only I usually use Lukie Games..
>>24936658
If you're looking at the specific item review, it's actually a review for the item in general, which is taken from multiple past sales from other sellers. You want to focus on the actual seller's individual feedback. If they hav 98%, there is nothing to worry about.

Yes, I've looked seller review - and with 98% good reviews there are some that state that the seller's items were counterfeit. And the pattern repeats itself... Looked for like six different listings of Platinum today - each seller had those reviews.
Will try in a week, I guess.

Are your eBay listings ship from other locations in Latvia, are do you have to ship from other countries? I'm asking because I'm curious and want to check myself
>>24936802
Yeah, from UK and US mostly.
>>24936845
Idk man, I see quite a few I can verify as legit
Protips:
>Never buy from Hong Kong, pretty much all their shit is bootleg garbage.
>Never buy if the seller didn't have an actual picture of the game and only has a googled image of the box art.
>in the case for DS games, sealed games are still affordable, and are most likely legit. Same if they still have the case and aren't loose.
>research general information on how to spot out bootleg DS games
>>24936885
Yeah, did the research.
Some sealed still have comments that they were resealed and fake. But thanks for the tips anyway

Learn how to tell the difference between a real cart and a fake one. It's not that hard OP.
Or you could just use DK Oldies. Kinda expensive at times but I have yet to receive a counterfeit
