What you don't seem to realise is that most Americans think America is the center (deliberate) of the universe.

Even if they knew what PAL is, or where Australia is, it wouldn't even trigger a thought that the game wouldn't play on their American machine (manufactured in Japan).

For future adventures into selling items overseas, as the Countess said, you need to hammer home where the disc will play. And probably where it won't. Or don't list International, especially for items that are only usable in few countries.

An expensive lesson, probably.

Not an opinion, it's in the community rules NOT to name and shame on the boards.

I find it hard to believe someone buying a Playstation 2 game in the year 2024 can feign ignorance over basic technologies.

Tech-savvy enough to login and start searching products, but not savvy enough to do a little Googling or product comparisons? Doubtful!

I'd also like to highlight - again - that their attitude was already poor and accusatory when the item did not arrive on time (something completely out of my control).

American or not, PAL or not, an ignorant jerk is acting like an ignorant jerk.

PAL is not a region, so your listing contains an error,  any ebay dispute will most likely be found in the buyers favor.

As you have replied to the -FB, it is highly unlikely the FB will be reviewed or removed.

Not doubtful - the way online buying works. Buying on a site is several levels below researching. They saw a bargain, they bought the bargain, it wasn't what they expected.

Limit your exposure to limit your losses.

Also why are you complaining to other members? We can't do anything. You would need to contact eBay, who will side with the buyer.

Refund and learn from the experience, as I said.

We all make mistakes. The trick is to learn from them and not repeat them.

I think you said it yourself,  they needed to google.   So the failure was on your part in not including sufficient detail in your advertisement.

Not sure if the name calling is necesary, in particular as it is your error

Not surprising the game you have listed does not mention what region it is suitable for. Maybe use some of the advice given for your own benefit. Price seams high considering normal selling price is half of what your asking.
