Do paywalls face as much fraud? My understanding is that industries that provide digital goods or services see a much lower rate of fraud because there's little resale value involved (and the cost of stolen/returned goods is much lower).

It sounds like the biggest problem that OP is talking about is people using his service to validate credit card numbers. They don't particularly care about the candy, they just want to know if a number has been cancelled yet.

He's not concerned about fraud where he is out goods, he's concerned about fraud where he's being used as a card verification tool. Checking the validity of credit cards is expensive and hard for carders; They need to do so fast and in bulk, but without setting off the fraud detection on the other side and killing the card.

Ah ok, that makes sense. A paywall would be perfect for that.
