We are using Paul to set an example to all future users who wish to do such things
Why does all of the awesome things happen when I can't access RZ >.< (feking computer)
Crash
I know he's done something wrong but I think you're taking it a tiny bit too far posting a full dox on a forum.
Steam has permanently deleted his account, and i received a refund for the games i purchased on that account.
Of course Paypal will take ages to actually process the dispute, but i'm happy
This however can happen again, i have now realized the 1 crucial thing which needs to be done to ensure it doesn't:
-- All steam account sales MUST include ownership of the ORIGINAL email address which was used to register the account. --
Without that email account, they can not submit any claims to Steam support. Perhaps it should be added to the merchant zone rules.
Perhaps offline contact information should also be included when dealing with 'information products'. As if dealing in actual items, address etc would have to be swapped. But with information products I still think a certain amount of this information should be given, if you are doing a legitimate trade I see little or no reasons why this information should be withheld, on either end.

That's very problematic. If it's something like yahoo mail, or gmail, or windows live, it's very easy to open a support case and claim your e-mail account was hacked, they'll ask you for some information and if they can verify that reasonably you are the person who owned that account, they will reset the password on it. So even if they give you the e-mail account, you're still in a situation where you can be scammed.
Further, if the e-mail is custom (ie, blah blah @mydomain.com) and hosted anywhere, they can easily change the MX record to google apps or their own smtp server and have poop sent to them.
Besides, how often are you in a place where you're even free to give away your email address? I know I couldn't give any of mine. Any address that I consider serious enough to be used for registration for something that I associate money with will most likely also be connected to a bunch of other important or valuable information.That's very problematic.

Yeah, and I'd like to emphasize I really don't think the marketplace itself is at fault for anything. I have a hard time believing someone with 5k+ posts here would go for a scam.But at the end of the day, i bought an account from a member i didn't really know, who wasn't very active, so it was pretty much a gable straight from the get-go.
