Ebay Due Diligence

Report for Thejapaneseportal

This eBay listing offers digital Nintendo Switch games with a striking promotion—the first game for $20, the second for just $1. The seller, thejapaneseportal, advertises the product as brand new and ships from Canada, with 32 sales and 221 watchers. The feedback score is 97, and no scam or counterfeit complaints have been found tied specifically to this seller. However, the pricing model is a major warning sign: legitimate digital Switch games rarely—if ever—drop to $1, and such deep bundle discounts are not supported by the official Nintendo eShop or major authorized retailers. These tactics are often linked to scam or unauthorized key resellers who may distribute invalid or compromised codes. The listing's images and product details do not clearly specify which games are included, and the seller does not accept returns (outside eBay's buyer protection). While there's no direct record of fake reviews or fraudulent activity by thejapaneseportal, the pricing alone is enough to advise extreme caution. Buyers should be aware that purchasing digital game codes from unofficial sources can risk receiving unusable or revoked products, or having their Nintendo account flagged. In summary: seller reputation is neutral but the listing’s product/pricing model is highly suspicious. It does not align with legitimate Nintendo game sales.
