question about selling/sending digital code items

I received an inquiry about a listing I have up for rewards points from Panini trading cards. The listing is for physical cards that contain digital codes that can be used on the Panini site to purchase items. A buyer has asked if I could email the digital codes so he can use them immediately. Note that they're not listed as "digital delivery", so I think I'm fine with the eBay guidelines on that kind of product, but not sure if sending them electronically affects that. Is it ok to do what the buyer asks and send the codes? Is there any increased scam potential if I do so? I should note that the buyer has over 9000 feedback with no blemishes on feedback. I'm probably being a bit too cautious, but I don't want to get dinged for violating the digital delivery process (really not too concerned about the buyer). As always, thanks for any feedback.

All buyers have 100% feedback, it is not possible for a seller to give a buyer a neg.

 

You email the buyer the codes. Buyer uses the codes. Buyer, being dishonest,  turns around and files an item not as described case saying you sent them an empty card/useless code. You lose.

 

Ship the physical cards. The buyer can still say not as described, and you lose...or all may go well if you have an honest buyer.

 

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.
