Many years ago I experienced something like that with Paypal where someone bought a license for my software and then immediately made a chargeback claim. And on Paypal unless it is a physical delivery with a tracking number, buyer always wins. I lost some time while communicating with Paypal about the chargeback.
- stefan_ 7y agoI thought the reason platforms such as Steam collect an outrageous cut of 30% is in at least covering the costs of this fraud, which is in any case still a tiny fraction of that percentage.
- SXX 7y agoSteam itselt dont sell keys to end users at all and ability to sell gifts is really limited. Though game developers / publishers can generate any reasonable amount of Steam keys for free and sell them outside of Steam where Steam itself get absolutely nothing. This is where most of fraud take place and game developers lose a lot of money on it.
