Pay lot of attention when purchasing a Nintendo DS videogame on Internet, eBay in particular... if the price is too good to be true, it's most likely a fraud.
The general advice is that everything that comes from china/hongkong is fake, that is, is a pirated version of the game built in mocked up ds cartrige. While it is true that 99% of what comes from those places is fake, importers can bring faked games worldwide, so geographic scanning is a no go.
There are ways to tell if a gamecard is fake (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/DS/feature.asp?c=2191) but untill the game is arrived you have no way to determine it.
Well no more, thanks to the DSi!
In fact the dsi has shrunk a little its slot, so that good games can enter, but fake ones cannot!
So every fake ds game on ebay will have "for DS/DSL but not DSi"
GOTCHA! IF YOU SEE THAT WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THAT AUCTION
