Expensive shipping/overseas buyer? If they're local, sending first class parcel with delivery conf is probably not even a few bucks... This is the second instance in the last 2 hours of surfing forums where this has happened multiple times to an individual seller. It seems like these are good targets for unauthorized scams so I do not recommends selling these types of goods on eBay with PayPal as payment method. Find a marketplace that will provide protections for digital goods and/or sign up for Stripe (stripe.com) as payment method. It seemed like a much quicker and easier method for the buyers then waiting 2-4 days for a code to arrive if they needed it for immediate usage online for their Xbox system. All these sales were to VERIFIED Paypal accounts/emails/home address also. Isn't that the point of verifying people's information through Paypal so scams don't happen? Also multiple people (top rated sellers) sell the same exact codes online via eBay so I didn't think I get scammed out like that. I've never had an issue selling/or being ripped off via eBay like this. Edit: Regardless whether or not Paypal covers digital sales isn't that a liability issue if someone compromises their system to fradulent make purchases? That item could have easily been shipped out (with tracking code) and the person could easily lie and states that either they didn't receive it (delivered to wrong house) or they didn't make the purchase
