    Seems to me the shoe is actually and very much on the other foot...

    The seller is selling access to digital content by email. This violates eBay's Prohibited or Restricted items Policy.

    OP if you ring eBay and state that you bought the item without realising that the code would be emailed rather than posted, that you haven't received it, and also inform them repeatedly that the item is prohibited on eBay and that eBay have a responsibility to remove the listings as well as refund you.

    No they are diff but I have checked both plus junk in each case ... besides he specifically stated Paypal email ... see quote above

    I just don't get this at all...So he's *emailing* you and saying "I *emailed* the code to..."

    Why can't he just include the code, again, in one of his responses to your complaints?

    Very fishy!

    eBay don't refund. eBay void. Not the same.

    You don't pay eBay, you pay paypal. PayPal won't refund.

    Not sure where you get this bizarre idea?

    Correct. EBay void and the payment is returned by Paypal.

    So why won't Paypal refund?
    And why start a case with Ebay if Ebay can't refund?

    Who will refund my stolen money?
