He's just locked his thread which means that his intentions are probably to scam. If you take a look at the digital goods section, you will see that many scammers have self moderated, locked threads with only an autobuy link.

The thing is that autobuy links do not protect the buyer using escrow at all. It only offers payment processing and an interface with which the buyer can interact with the seller, and nothing else. Any after sales problems, selly can't help you.

And that's the thing. As hugeblack mentioned, always go for a trusted escrow when you are dealing on here. Also, be extremely cautious when you are dealing with gift cards or codes of any kind, they could easily be obtained fraudulently and even escrow can't help you with that if it does pop up as an issue.

Sorry for your loss and I hope that losing that amount will not be a big loss to you. Life is harsh, so losing $ 30 to learn "Avoid auto-buy links, mainly locked or self moderated. Register before dealing" will not be a great adventure.
Remember not to buy from Auto-buy URLs, locked topics, and 0 deals trust without using any escrow[1].
The puzzling thing is that this member has received a vouch copy from @sandy-is-fine, it seems that those scammers are doing a lot of work to scam others.


Someone will get negative trust.  Roll Eyes
