Nope, because they would be purchased at the time of exchange. Buyer gets "working" keys, transfers bitcoins. 2 weeks later, keys revoked.

Care to explain why it takes whole 2 weeks? Anyone would notice fraud charges on their credit card soon enough and I don't think it would take Amazon anything more than 2 hours to report keys fraudental.
Buying things with stolen credit card is not that easy either. It has to be never used with any other account on Amazon and you have to register it with IP of location that's on billing address of CC. There are much much more checks to stop fraud charges but those are just few.
That's not the point. The point is that there were previous cases of keys being bought with fraudulent credit cards. Buyers lost money and had no recourse. Therefore, buying discounted keys is not safe. There's nothing preventing the seller from yanking back the keys and leaving the buyer with nothing. If the seller had a long history of trades, this would be less risky. As it stands now, it's a 3 month old member selling $60 keys for $16.

These keys are totally legit and not bought with stolen CC or anything.
LOL. You have to be really naive to think that's anywhere near convincing. It's like a scammer saying "I totally won't scam you".

They surely would have been revoked by now if they were stolen, don't you think?

Well since the keys aren't registered in any database, they simply are generated with a certain algorythm, so unless they are redeemed, so nobody will notice.
No, that was back in early 2000. Keys now are secured by a simple checksum, but needs authentication with a server (steam, secuROM, origin, etc.) to activate. Plus online features need authentication with a backend anyways.
Dude that's what I said. It's the same, it's just in the cloud. E.g. you submit your key to steam, steam checks it according to a certain algorithm. Keys that aren't activated don't just sit in the database because that's not efficient nor safe if a hacker gets in.

Because these could be bought with stolen credit cards. There was a incident a few months ago where keys for an indie game was sold at below retail. A couple weeks after the game was released, fans complained their keys were revoked. Turned out those keys were purchased using stolen credit cards, and the card issuer initiated chargebacks. Everybody who bought those stolen keys lost their money.

You're not helping your reputation here. As a seller, you want to provide as much assurance to your customer that your goods are legit. This is especially true with bitcoins, because there's no paypal buyer protection.

Other escrows accepted as well. I send key to escrower, you pay coins to escrower, escrower activates key on your Steam account, escrower releases payment to me.
