Okay check this out, or first of all, let me start by asking a question: As a Goozer, do you expect to get each and every game as if the seller, just recently came to the post office from GameStop? I mean that dude would deserve an automatic +50 for ever trade he gets, but c'mon how many of us are really out there. Recently I received Assassin's Creed II for PS3, didn't think nothing more of it, all I check when I receive a game is box, manual, working game (unless you got lucky enough to snatch a Guitar Hero Bundle) and gave the dude his Positive +10 feedback. Now weeks later I decide it's time to part ways with ACII and mail it off to another "lucky" individual, but I wasn't aware of what I got myself into when I clicked the little "Accept Trade" button. The person I sent to, which I won't mention his username, but you can find out by other means, was probably thinking I was that one guy I mention who just came out of GameStop on my way to the post office. When this dude received ACII he left me a +5 feedback, because supposedly the box says it comes with a treasure map. My next question to y'all is, do y'all have any stories of these individuals like this guy here who thinks, just because it says there's a code, he automatically, even though other players had already owned it, thinks the code still works? (To let y'all know I didn't keep the map, I wasn't aware a map of God knows what was included inside ACII.)
Another story of +5, that ticked me off, I traded PES2009 and I specifically put CD only because, when I bought my used PS3, somehow PES2009 was in the system, lucky me. When I was matched with this loser, I sent him the game and you guessed it +5 feedback. Why? Because I sent him disc only. WOW!!!!!!!!!
Please share and not make me feel like I'm the only one, who's matched with these freakazoids. Or am I just a "Goozex Feedback"/Trophy Whore???????

These cases are feedback abuse, and they should be reported to the G-Team.
Any download content codes and definitely NOT mandatory, just a nice bonus if they are included. Also, if a disc only trade is done, they can not give a +5 for something wrong with the case. Only if the disc isn't is excellent shape.
no matter what you're bound to walk into an idiot or two - it works that way with pretty much everywhere else as well. I would just take it in stride because opinions differ on things and sometimes items get banged up during shipping. +5 is still positive feedback and once you get past your first few trades feedback score doesnt really matter too much as long as its not full of neutrals and negatives and I know there are some jerks out there but as a whole these kinds of things dont happen to often. Just be sure to use delivery content when you send out your packages so that you can prove that you sent your items and they were received and that will disprove the scammers who claim that you never sent your game to them..
I had someone leave me a +5 because they didn't like the way I packaged the game when I mailed it out. No mention of the actual, physical game in the feedback.
*sigh*

Both are examples of feedback abuse. If you care that much about getting a +10 over a +5 then you can send an e-mail to Goozex and they will change them to +10. Personally I dont care when I get a +5 for no reason. On a couple of occasions I have gotten +5 because the user clicked on the wrong one. Oh well I find its best not to get upset about it and just move on to your next trade.
wait theres a code in AC2? i didnt know that.... Just wondering was it in 360,ps3 or both?

@Redboy I believe it was in both but it was a Gamestop exclusive thing.
As for the thread at hand I have gotten a couple of unjustified +5 feedbacks. I got a plus 5 on one because I sent a candycane along with the game around Christmas. Another time a new user accidentally clicked the wrong one and got Goozex to fix it for me, so no big deal.
It annoys me when people give +5 for stickers on the cases, these are used games in most instances, what do you expect? I know it's only feedback but still I like my shiny +10s, and I know it's not only me.
Yes you are not alone. I got +5 for "excessive" pm's, most of which were automatic from goozex. That's the day, well maybe a couple days later, that I resolved that +5 is still positive so it doesn't matter in the end.
I got a +5 on a DO trade once because the guy wanted a jewel case instead of a clamshell.
Someone sent me a neutral feedback because he couldn't get past a part in a video game and thought the disc must be scratched Of Course its my fault right?
I once got a +5 with no comment, despite the fact that the game was like new. I actually was expecting to get a +5 from the user, since they very frequently left +5 without comments.

Best Buy preorder had the code that was for extra stuff, and had a little thing on the front cover of the game that said "exclusive map for best buy preorder" that was printed up just for those editions.
It sucks to get a +5 for no good reason, but eventually it won't matter in regards to trading.
Yeah, doesn't matter a heck of a lot, but you can get these overturned. On a sidenote, thanks for being cool and leaving a +10 for me despite the Post Office cracking the case on that last trade slushersa. Sometimes you do run into users that are cool despite having a justifiable reason to +5 you, so it evens out. Also kind of strange - your sign up date is my birthday and you just missed being the feedback that put me over 1000.
Yeah I also just got a +5 for a game that left my house in mint condition, but arrived with a slight crack in the case. It must have happened in transit, but I hate how they left a comment saying I should have told them before trading.
The +5 is fine but for some reason it's the comment that really annoyed me.
