Battlefield 3 for PC

Bought this as a present (on Eb***) but when i tried to load the game we were told the installation key was already in use. Ive bought a used game before and used the same key and haven't had any problem.

Any idea
Thanks

The key is tied to someone else' Origin account, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do.

Unless EA do Online Passes for BF3.

You bought a PC game from ebay that isnt single player only and requires tied into an account to be used.
Very stupid mistake, lesson learnt, move on.
That is the only thing you can do.

Could try contacting EA with a proof of purchase, I know steam have been known to move a game to a new account when it's been bought second hand.

Ask the buyer to give the origin details as it is really part of the sale. If you are lucky it is the one game on that account or if not then ask for a refund, etc
