don't get your hopes up though, claiming money back is not that simple
He did buy it with paypal. You dont have to have an account to pay with a credit card through paypal. Paypal acts as the third party so you dont have to give your card details to a site or anything.

Umm, i dont know. Many people sell them on ebay, wouldnt ebay take it off if it wasnt legal?
You are allowed to sell MS points etc etc on ebay. It was a bad idea you didnt do it through ebay now you are covered by no one. If you did it through ebay you would of had a chance of getting your money back, ebay contacts him, ebay gives a strike against him for not giving you the item. I understand you paid for the item through paypal with a creditcard without actually signing up. Big mistake you should sign up when making payments, because then you can open a non receipt dispute and get paypal to investigate, seller has to provide postage tracking etc.
Even though you did use paypal as the third party to pay for the item, which was good because then you did not have to give your card details to the site, you are not covered under paypals buyer complaint policy
Like Nathan said, wait 48 hours, he could be at work or dead!
