EDIT: This site is fraud and I apologize for posting it.
My friend placed order and told me about this site. I did not bother checking it myself since I already have wii.
Anyway, my friend has disputed his transaction with paypal and they were not able to help him. So finally he has disputed it with credit card he used for paypal.

That kind of explains such low prices. And I was cursing myself for spending over $320 in Costco on Wii game console, other games and accessories.

FAQ Page said: There are 2 statuses: 1. If your item’s status reads "Pending payment verification", it means that we have received your payment, but Videoingames hasn’t verified it yet. It will take approximately 1 business day for gamesinwelt to verify a payment. 2. Once your payment is verified, you will be notified by email, and the status will change to "Pending seller confirmation". There are 2 statuses:
It seems that this is a standard form site, with the title of the store replaced using a ctrl+h. Notice the "Videoingames" in the 1st paragraph, looks like they left some trace from their last scam shop.
For the future just remember: Regardless of what types of payment the site claims it accepts, if you get to checkout and the site requires payment via Western Union or Bank Transfer it is ALWAYS 100% a Scam. No legitimate business would ever require this type of payment.
The only reason anyone would request payment via in person Western Union is because there is no way to get your money back with Western Union when you don't receive merchandise. Western Union is not meant for purchases, it is meant to send money to people that you already know.
At videoingames, your satisfaction is what we strive for. We offer a comprehensive return policy to ensure that once you own a gamesinwelt product, you will not buy your designer handbags anywhere else, ever again.
My friend ordered one yesterday from this site and told me about it.
He paid via PayPal.
I will post if/when he receives his order.

Then your friend is an even bigger moron than you, and now some Chinaman has $165 of his money. Oops!

Being as how every single item on the site is being sold BELOW the wholesale cost of each item, I wouldn't hold my breath...
You should probably advise your friend to try to reverse the charge before they close the Paypal account that he sent the money to. It is notoriously difficult to get a refund from PayPal, even when you are scammed.
Here is a link about others who were scammed by this site under one of it's other names, using PayPal:
"I scewed up yesterday and used paypal that they tied to the site they were using under the domain of ; gamesinshop.com ; at which I am now battling with paypal to reimburse less then 24hrs. later. The gal I spoke with on paypal slipped to tell me they have others who found the site to be not legit, at which I stated why are they permitting them to use their payment venue????? She stated that paypal does not screen those that want to use their services but will investigate people who have been scammed afterwards. I then vented off and stated I was going to contact my credit card to stop payment to paypal , at which she informed me that they would file complaint on my purchase for reimbursement. Meanwhile I found the videoingames.com now which is the same as yesterdays gamesinshop.com to be the new ripoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I got ripped off and never got my wii and had to claim fraud through my credit card. You do not want to use this site under any circumstances. It is a scam. If someone tells you differently to this, they are probably apart of it. Do not send them any money! If it is too good to be true, then, it must be crap.

Your site is nothing but a scam. Please avoid at all cost.
Disputing a PayPal payment with your credit card company isn't always a winning solution. You will get your money back from the CC company but PayPal can (and often does) "negative balance" your PayPal account for the money taken back by the CC company then eventually sends you to collections and dings your credit report.
Update: My friend has disputed his transaction with paypal and they were not able to help him. So finally he has disputed it with credit card he used for paypal.
