Yeah, just contact each member stating you'll send them an email delivery if they need it urgently (which they all do, hence why they are buying them), and that you can post the code at there request.

Mine were selling well until the weekend, I'd bought a load at £2.80 so I was clearing a pound or so after fees. Then I had four returned on Friday which I had to refund as I couldn't check them.
It's put me off selling these which is a shame as I've found a really good supplier now !
I'm trying to build a business / reputation on Ebay and I don't want my feedback to be shot by scammers....

Off on a bit of a tangent, sorry!

Apparantly theres a site you use to check the codes.
Why not just say to those buyers that you'll check the codes that they are questioning and will act once you have discovered whether they'd been used already etc.
Should put some off who may say that the code has magically worked for them.

I wish I knew that site url!
Had one retard leave me bad FB 2 hours after the sale... and sweary abusive emails.
I honestly don't know if I had four 'bad' codes or if the buyers were friends who'd arranged this between themselves.

Thats not a bad idea, on your website / ebay adverts staate that all codes have been checked via whatever.com and you guarantee they happen to be working.......

Then when unhappy customer suddenly decides the code you sold them dosnt work, you have a good option of checking......

...... of course at times you will still have to refund some customers.

You would only have to offer a refund if it was proven to have been used already by another console.
You'll always get a couple of people who will try to scam you...so use scare tactics, such as:
"Sorry to hear that you have a code that has already been used. I have forwarded a copy of the code to Microsofts team at blabla.com who will verify the code has been used, and to what console, as I have explained the situation." you could then add a teeny lie if you feel cheeky like "if it proven that you are currently using the code then it will result in the code not only being voided, but your XBOX Live account will be terminated indefinitely."
I hate scammers and so do as much as I can do give as much as I get when it comes to them

I like the sound of that

I sell WOW XBOX on ebay and lots of other codes for digital delivery. Its all fine for a month or so then they delete all my listings!! and I have to start over. Also I sell top sellers have long term history and dont get blocked so it seems like one rule for some and one rule for another. Any have this probelm?

I think this is going to come down to the wording of the listing.
Similar to this 20p thing. Wording is everything as it can give one meaning, or something entirely different.
I'd imply that you will send a hard copy, most buyers will be perfectly happy with email, so shouldn't be an issue.

ive been sellign codes on ebay as well and they havent said anything about mine, i have just worded it like im sending all the packaginf out with the code by post, but in which im not. After the buyer has bought of me he asks me to send him it by email so its all good. Just try and word it like you are sending all the packaging out by post.
