Only a few times.
-windows keys, which is why we banned windows keys which can be revoked, ie sub keys, cause they're grey market.
-I don't want to call out members, but grey market keys have been sold in here at a few bucks more for easy money, hence why they're on here- they've been banned from other sites.
-this time, but we'll see how this goes~ I already offered a refund days ago, got told to wait to see if the keys valid.

I think this time+rottr were the only time the thread had it for pages, but rottr was weird, because it was mostly "wow you charged me $20 for a free key fuck you" mentality, not people actually being mad about the keys.

Completely valid. And heey, everyone else is refunding as is, pls.
I just want disclosure, I'm not here to police your morals, I just don't think it's on the buyer to decide if a key is something that's from a valid source or not vs the seller disclosing. You got that $30 key for $10? Okay, someones still going to buy it at half off, but tell them :V If they aren't going to buy it at half off because it's from an error, why does selling it to them withholding info make it right?

One time. There was a guy selling Win 10 keys that kept getting revoked.

Both of his accounts got banned.

Aside from that, can't remember any.

Re: GOW4 and FH3 keys, I don't feel strongly one way or the other about people selling them. I don't think I would ever sell a key I paid $20 for to someone else for $40, but if people are willing to pay that much, who am I to judge? I also don't think there's any way to stop it or discourage it, outside of banning anyone from the B/S/T threads who refuses to refund revoked keys (and would that even deter anyone? Probably not).

Having said that, with any deal that is knowingly a glitch or price mistake that carries an increased potential to get revoked, it might not be a bad idea to urge buyers to pay via Paypal Goods & Services, and not friends/family gift. Even if the buyer insists you cover the fees (which would maybe be an extra couple dollars), I would argue that it's worth it to have Paypal Purchase Protection which now covers digital goods. And if the seller refuses to accept payment via Goods & Services, I'd keep looking for a seller who does.

Asking because I'm curious about what others may think.

Someone is asking to buy some of my items, but keeps insisting to pay closer to the release date. That is fine IMO. The curious part is that this person keeps insisting that it is because he wants to do it to have "PayPal Protection". And this person keeps mentioning it enough times to make me curious.

I already have Plus status here and all the people that I have sold stuff to have never complained while I have kept them in the loop about their items all the time. Even the ones that never left me seller feedback.

So is it just me or someone insisting that they want to have "Paypal protection" raises some doubts?

Shit, it made me go all over the seller protection policies at PayPal :/

That's weird to me. You've got plenty of good feedback, that'd be all the protection i need personally. I'd be wary.

What made me ask is that suddenly this person asked to buy both of the same article, and again mentioned the "PayPal protection" as a reason to hold the payment.

It is around $1K, so it makes me wary. I casually mentioned earlier that it seemed like his/her intention wasn't the best with all that asking, but this person never addressed it at all.

I shouldn't have canceled mine. I could've just sold it to someone here for $20.

I think I'll wait a day to post my games and Pokémon figures. Let this Forza craziness subside.

I'm not sure how long it will be until the items are released, but I believe there is a set time period for PayPal protection. If a claim is filed after that time period, the buyer would be out of luck.

Otherwise though, just make sure you send the items according to PayPal's policy. For instance, I'm pretty sure that a transaction for that amount would require signature confirmation service on delivery. Just read through everything to make sure you're covered.

Yes, but that wouldn't help at all if the person claims that "the items aren't as described", which is how ebay sellers get scammed.

-Gamecube controller $10-$15 shipped to 91786 - I do not care what color as long as it's a genuine Nintendo one that is working, clean, and the thumbstick is intact; the stuff on ebay looks like they were eaten and then shit out by a great dane.

I mean....that can happen with any item. It sounds like you are selling pre-order items that, if you someone were to buy them now, would be outside the buyer protection period by the time they are released. If this is the case then I see no issue with the buyer asking to pay closer to release so that they are still protected if something goes wrong. Makes sense to me. But, you're under no obligation to make that accommodation. If at the end of the day it makes you nervous then just tell them you'll have to pass.

If the above doesn't describe your items or this situation then feel free to disregard :)

Your amount of seller feedback really isn't worth anything when it comes to a transaction of that size (and tbh, without the ability to look up transactions feedback was left for, most people's aren't all that worthwhile, mine included). Paying in advance outside of the PayPal protection window would be tantamount to paying with a gift payment, and I don't think you'd be expecting buyers to do that based on your feedback.

With that being said, if he's aware that the window for filing a claim is within 180 days of transaction (up from 45 days) and the item is coming out before then, that might be a tiny bit weird. You're certainly within reason to look for a buyer without the same stipulation, but what he wants really isn't as odd as you're making it out to be.

The person is asking to pay exactly a month before the estimated day of delivery. Since I have to receive the items on release day, I gave a worst case scenario of a week in terms of delivery so the payment was estimated. I don't mind the wait for the payment. What makes me wary is the constant mentioning of "PayPal protection" as the reason. Had it been "ok, I'll pay you a month before release date" would be ok. But "PayPal protection" over and over?

I sold an Oculus Rift here no problem when it came out, had no problem, and that was around $800, so I have moved that kind of money around here in my transactions, as well as bought expensive stuff here too in previous BSTs that I can ask the seller to vouch for.

I think I'll pass. Just checked the person's posting history. Only WTBs in previous BST threads for cheap items as well as no feedback left of any kind for any of the sellers, since this person has buying feedback.

+36 Seller, +16 Buyer

All prices includes shipping to US. I will ship outside of US, but it has to be a method that provides tracking, so will probably be pricey. Links will take you to a photo!
Accepting Paypal F/F (friends and family) or G/S (goods and services). Prices for G/S a little higher to cover fees. See below. I will ship protected and with tracking either way! Unless it’s a Sunday or postal holiday, I’ll always be able to ship out within 24 hours of payment.
