Don't get one with shipping then. The code comes on a card that they ship to you, if you want it to be.

Because they don't pay commissions on shipping.

Because shipping doesn't increase their ebay fees.

One seller put it for #1+29$ shipping. I asked about e-mail for no shipping, I received answer "I'm selling it for $30, but I don't want to keep more money, so most of my price is in shipping".

Yes it does these days. eBay started adding "final item value shipping fees" on sales earlier this year, around April or so. The real reason some people charge shipping is because it's against eBay's TOS to sell digital items. Not that eBay cracks down on it much, but if someone reports your listing, eBay gets pissy with you. So to get around it, some people will tack shipping charges onto their listings with the "promise" that they'll mail out the physical card with the code on it.

I've actually messaged sellers before, explained that I knew why they added shipping charges to their listing, and had them remove them with the promise of purchasing the item right afterward. Most sellers will cooperate with you about this if you're nice enough about it.

My and/or that seller mistake then.

Like I said, she wrote "I put shipping so I would pay less fees". I don't really know how it works on Ebay, this was my first rush there to buy something.

Look for a posting that has either no shipping cost, or shipping is undefined. There are heaps of them.

its not, they can charge for shipping + a reasonable material + gas cost for shipping(gotta drive to the post officer afterall(hince shipping and handling))

(I did my time selling on both amazon and ebay, amazon doesn't care if you profit on shipping charges, heck some sellers live on shipping charges)

It is allowed. I have recently won a bid for a beer mug and paid no more than $2; but shipping it to Brazil is awfully more expensive haha :P It mostly depends on what you are buying, and if it must be handled with any specific care during shipping.

You also have the opportunity to win these same games through Raptr. http://raptr.com/amd

It updates the standard Raptr app to the "AMD Gaming Involved Powered by Raptr". All you need to do is play a game for one hour a day while running the app and a window will pop up allowing you to enter daily. You don't have to pay any money to run the app or enter the daily drawings. You DO need to have an AMD/ATI video card though it doesn't have to be a new one.

Well I don't think they will expire for quite some time, seeing that the new game added "Thief" can be redeemed until April 30th, 2014. So good 5-6 months. Unsure on how often games are added.

I'm positively surprised. I expected that you couldn't pick the game with this code since it's not yet out and the promotion for these codes ends at the end of this year. Apparently you can indeed still 'reserve' it by picking it now.

Got Thief and Sniper Elite (only Steam game I was missing) for less than $10.

Yes it is, even if it going to be horrible it'll be what 3-6 months until a price drop and even then it would require a sale to match the 10$.

But then again I've never played any of the thief games so I wont be disappointed if it doesn't meet the standards of the franchise.

It doesn't sound like BAD. It just won't be Thief. Just like Absolution wasn't Hitman or Tomb Raider wasn't Tomb Raider.

Let's hope it's even remotely that kind of quality, because those two games were pretty good. Everything I've read so far is like another DNF waiting to happen. I just don't want people to be disappointed, because Eidos Montreal made one of my favorite games and alot of those guys just left development for it..

Thanks OP for this thread, currently I am looking for hitman and SR4. And then, I have to thank chelly. I got the gold code from an Australia seller at ebay AU site for 16.9 AUD. I redeemed SR4, Thief, and Hitman. What a good deal it is.The cheapest Hitman is 75% off which is $6.25. Thief and SR4 currently are expensive. These two games are worth simply over $25 even at 75% off. So for these two years, I really cannot find a better deal to get these games.

I would agree that even getting Thief and Saints Row 4 for that price is a steal, but Dirt 3 is iffy. Sure it will be a lot better when it gets converted to steamworks, but still unless you have friends to play multiplayer, don't find it worth the $8. Believe it was on sale recently for cheaper then that.

Thanks for this thread. I managed to get one of these for about $15.
Even if Thief ends up being a linear, QTE-filled, bastardization of the series like everyone on the internet fears, I'll be satisfied with what I paid for it. And hopefully I'll find someone who'll accept a trade for Hitman Absolution (maybe for Tomb Raider or something).
