Besides morals obviously, they leave them right out in the open without any security and you don't need to scan them to get them to work from what I understand because they have a scratch-off code

Pretty gutsy by Walmart tbh

Then you understand incorrectly because that's not how scratch-off codes work.

So you need to have them scanned even if the code is already on the back?

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

The code doesn't work until you scan it at the register.

Because they have to be activated at the register for them to carry an active balance.

The longer barcode that's scanned contains the code in encrypted format. It's how they're activated. If you want to steal pieces of paper with invalid codes and contact Microsoft and have them ask you for proof of purchase be my guest

They will just do a PayPal chargeback.

If you're about to ask what's stopping people from scamming legitimate key sellers with chargebacks, the answer is nothing.

Pretty sure I remember hearing about scammers on ebay utilizing cards years ago

These days amazon sells you the code instantly so I donno why anyone would buy a physical card anyway

It's a really common problem. Sellers have to go through so much trouble to prove the scammer is a scammer that many of them just take the loss.
