Amazon Anti-scam methods? / selling items that are a email of information not a real object...?

Resolved Question

Amazon Anti-scam methods? / selling items that are a email of information not a real object...?

hey, im new to the whole amazon buying/selling business, and i was wondering:

1.) Is it fine to sell stuff on amazon that isnt a physical object? like the customer would be purchasing information.

for example i was wondering could i sell xbox live gold membership codes, where once they had purchased the item and i had received the payment, i would just email them the code for them to enter on xbox live. would be this be ok?

2.) how would i avoid scammers? for example those people who say they never received their item when they did, considering i wouldnt be sending them anything in the post, would be via email, how could i track or have a record of me sending the email to them so they couldnt say they didnt receive it.

3.) what would i do if they said the xbox live code didnt work? which wouldnt happen considering i would not sell dodgy goods, they would be legitimate codes straight from microsoft, would i have to refund them? or how could i catch them out about lying? because i was lose alot of money if i had to refund them their money...

need some advice and information on this, before i make a move on actually going into this business economy on amazon.

I'm not sure you can legally resell Xbox Live codes. The terms of service require that the individual user register for the service at xbox.com, be 18 years of age or older, that only the registered individual can use the account, and that you cannot resell or redistribute the service. So regardless of how this business model could work logistically on Amazon, how exactly do you think you could legally resell the codes?
