Rickett: In the end i saw their 15k positive feedback and did what they asked, got the game, the account back and now i've changed the password. The main problem now is that i fear they can use the copy of my id i send them to prove my identity to stole a password of mine :(

Edit: false allarm, both gamil and paypal have a mobile phone protection
As stated before, they probably bought you the game from russia (you can check the price from Orders&Settings) and then gave you back the account. I don't think it's a good practice to encourage such "businesses"

You should just pirate the game - 5 bucks saved and the outcome would be the same.

It's a single player game so the game won't change and someday soon it will be 80+% discounted on GOG

The reason the ebay seller asked your credentials is because scam goes both ways. They've probably been scammed in the past by people who redeemed the game code and asked for a refund.

maybe they built in a nice surprise and bought it with an "interesting" credit card ^^
And well sharing the GOG account with another entity and even more so a competing "business" definitely is in violation with GOG TOS.

Is this the kind of stuff that happens because of the idiocy of regional pricing?
