This method works, however people will scam you saying the purchase(s) were unauthorized, or people will pay for the cd key(s) with hacked accounts etc... and good luck with that, like others are saying, paypal always backs buyer. So I figured I might have a solution to this problem that I would share with everyone, or maybe not, anyway...
So here's what I'm thinking ... let me know what you all think. I made about $200 in a day (actually ended up losing $$) with this method, and realized that I basically just had a bunch of people scamming me claiming unauthorized purchases or whatever. So I was trying to think of a way to protect myself from this ...
If I have the buyer send me a picture of him/her, holding a form of ID like drivers license, and then maybe a signed paper that says something along the lines
of:
-- I, (first + last name), of (address), of sound mind and body, declare that I am the account owner of (account name/email), and that I am authorizing
the purchase of (steam cd key) in the amount of ($$). --
Anyway, this is a butchered example of what the legal "contract" might say. I would want to talk to a lawyer and have them help me draft something up and work out the deetz
I would imagine this would discourage most scammers, although it may scare away potential customers as well.
Let me know what you guys think, things you could add to help, or reasons why this is asinine, or not allowed, or won't work, etc. I didn't do much research into this.
Also, just a couple tips, if the same eBay person is buying multiple cd keys, especially when they are the same game, or they only have like 1-10 feedback, just refund them immediately and blacklist them. (No shit right? yeah well I gave them a chance anyway and obviously lost $$, learned my lesson at least)
have a good day
