He's just locked his thread which means that his intentions are probably to scam. If you take a look at the digital goods section, you will see that many scammers have self moderated, locked threads with only an autobuy link.
The thing is that autobuy links do not protect the buyer using escrow at all. It only offers payment processing and an interface with which the buyer can interact with the seller, and nothing else. Any after sales problems, selly can't help you.
And that's the thing. As hugeblack mentioned, always go for a trusted escrow when you are dealing on here. Also, be extremely cautious when you are dealing with gift cards or codes of any kind, they could easily be obtained fraudulently and even escrow can't help you with that if it does pop up as an issue.
