You wouldn't put "Xbox Live account lol" in the description field, obviously. I explained how he could do it by retaining the email/secret questions until the money cleared.

I agree that Paypal isn't the best option, but I am unaware of any other decent way to do this while protecting both parties.

Is he? Well, does buying and selling XBox Live accounts violate its EULA?

Regardless of whether or not selling a Live account is against their EULA, the buyer could still have a case for theft.

If buying and selling LIVE accts is against the terms and conditions. Dont use Paypal.

Beleive it or not, there pretty much is a "gimme back my money button"

I had a friend sell a WoW acct and use my PP acct since it was confirmed. The guy almost instantly reversed the payment. PP held the money, but ended up giving it to him. Luckily we got the acct back.

This is exactly what I meant. Even if the guy tried to rip him off, he'd still be able to recover the account via email.
