Default Selling Xbox point card...

I have some Xbox point card to sell on my new created ebay account.
I listed yesterday and a buyer has won the bid and he emailed me that he just want me to send him the code instead of the plastic card.
I just wonder if i send him the code, do i need to ship the plastic card to him cuz im afraid ebay would ban me because I didn't provide a proper tracking number in these transaction. But the buyer told me he doesn't need the card, and i do not need to ship the card to him.
How should i do?

Give him the code through eBay because he probably wants/needs it ASAP but also tell him that you'll have to mail it anyway or else eBay will suspend you

Didn't you plan to ship it before you even listed it?

Those cards are an extremely dangerous game to play with and heavily monitored. I highly suggest you not take any chances and you should have planned all of this out before selling something that you da*n well know causes a world of sh!t for most sellers especially sending digital goods and not the card.

Are you old enough to be using ebay?

You need to pick. Save $5 shipping fee because of a buyer asking or take every step to keep your own account living.

Go read as much as you can about digital items & how to sell them correctly.

That's not hard is it.

Lot of options to consider - for your next sales, plan your profit margins accordingly...and the $5 you pay now will come back in other ways

How does that address the problem of the OP selling a digital item?

If he sells such an item incorrectly, he will have no account to use any profit margins.

It doesn't cost $5 to send a gift card via First Class Mail. If you purchase the postage through Ebay and or Paypal like you should a 3oz envelope costs like $1.86.
