Yep. I was going to send a printout of the email I received from GameStop, but my listing was removed. Not a big deal either way. Would have been nice to put that money towards my preorder though

just got 2!!!! (i ordered 2 lol)

Might bid just because that guy is awesome.

You definitely don't need to be selling a physical sheet of paper or anything when it comes to beta codes on eBay.

I had already ordered 2 collectors edition with the 25OFF code from gamestop... and they were charging an extra fee for weight so I did overnight because it was the best deal. The total as $187, however now they are offering free 3 day shipping with no weight fee. I called them up and had them change my shipping and now the total is $165!!!!!!!

Damn, 10% sales tax? Where do you live Motz?

What a little titty baby. Gonna stop the big bad eBay men from selling his codey-wodey's.


Any and all of you with an eBay account, please report him.

EDIT.. Again: Ugh, gamestop's checkout is so inaccurate. I can't imagine it being that difficult to code a coupon. Finally decided to work and stack.

Yes, but printing out the email they send you works as a physical item.

See I decided to sell mine, but I also pre-ordered Starcraft 2 about 2-3 weeks ago so I went into this without the intention of getting a game free (which I am almost doing considering it is going to cost me $18 for the game) or a beta key. I also do not necessarily want to get into the Beta because I want the game to be as fresh as possible whenever I get it after release.

They canceled my sale because I didn't have anything physical. I think this may be different because it is a Beta rather than some fancy digital armor or weapon.

Because I have totally sold digital items on ebay (Chocobo pet and ME armor and weapon), but they stopped mine this time and it technically said nothing about being digital, but had a lot to do with copyright on betas and illegal stuff.

I don't really mind people scalping - you have something, someone else wants it, it's all good, but at the same time, it's kind of cool that the guy is going out of his way to keep people from paying more than they should.

Well people are going to find out about this even if he did try to help some people out. Some guy is already listing 7 of these.

Yeah, check out:http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/software.html

These are eBay's policies on selling OEM, Academic, and Beta software. All beta software sales are prohibited, as well as the sale of "beta cards" or "access codes" so I imagine that's where these fall into.

I have been testing the risky waters of selling some OEM software and a lot of DLC lately, but I think I'm gonna steer clear of this one. It looks like eBay has basically pulled almost of all of these, paper included or not.

I'm pretty sure only the Blizzcon ones are making it to sale considering they are more of a collectors item than anything.

I pre-ordered this two weeks ago and never received a Beta code. My option to cancel the order has been removed. Do I really need to call these guys up to get my code?
