[quote name='bigdaddybruce44']I don't know what the exact policy for sending things via e-mail that you sold on eBay is, but there are a TON of auctions where you can only get receive things like XBL subs via e-mail. Again, I don't know what the policy is, but there certainly are a lot of them, so you would think eBay would knock a lot of them down if they were completely against policy.
Anyway, I have sold ONE thing via e-mail, and that was a 12-month sub card I pulled from a Vision Bundle (actually got $44 for it). After listing it, I thought about how bad an idea it was, considering how someone could screw me over. I took the only steps I could I think of to offer myself a minimal amount of protection. I took pictures of the card, with the code unrevealed, the code half-revealed, and the code fully revealed. I also made my e-mail as professional-looking as possible. The buyer never gave me a problem and left me good feedback. But I don't think I will ever do that again, just to be safe.[/quote]
I am glad your transaction went well. Just don't expect everyone to be the same. Some people just try stealing things, either physically or electronically, and these policies make it very easy for someone to steal things electronically.
