What is the dispute about?

I purchased a Fortnite Save the World key for $10. When Selly emailed me the code (shown in the pictures) and I attempted to redeem it; it says it's invalid (which I expected).

Other details / notes: You can try to redeem it yourself if you'd like, it won't work. It's not an actual code.

Other proof: N/A, none extra needed. Check all linked and uploaded pictures for all the proof you need. Let's get this guy out of here, I'm not taking the risk. I can't escalate to PayPal for another 7 days, and it's likely the money will be gone by then unfortunately.

Thank you. I notified the other person in the thread to be wary as well, as they seemed interested in a purchase (if they haven't done it already).


EpicGames recently removed the ability to buy "friend codes" by upgrading your Founder's Pack level. Russians (specifically because there's a handful of Russian-only websites out there dealing with this) have been hacking Fortnite accounts and selling them for dollars at a time. This is why verified sellers only take accounts you are the original owner of. A lot of times, they'll hijack the account and charge your payment info for $159.99 (the Legendary Deluxe upgrade) and sell the friend codes. Even if it gets charged back, they make $25-$30 off the code and you get to keep the game.


Sorry that's a lot of text, just all the digging I've been doing lately! Wanted to bring it to people's attention. You can no longer legitimately obtain friend codes for Fortnite PvE as far as I'm aware, as Founder's Pack upgrades have been removed from the store with the most recent update.
