Weird CDKeys issue

[Joe Pascal]

After two days of not receiving any key from them them and them trying to resend it, they've now decided to give me a refund. Although I've communicated fine with their customer support during this time. A lot of people swear by them but this is my first experience. Do they get blocked by some email providers?

Who is "they", for starters?

You would best to ask over there as this is for steam and using grey markets is always a risk you take.

If it's not listed here then it's a grey market and at your own risk:

I have had emails not come through for websites when using stupid free email providers, so it is possible. Major email providers, such as Gmail and Outlook (hotmail) seem to be fine.

Who is "them" I did bought keys off steam several times and had them refunded few times without problems.
Bare in mind that sometimes it takes few days to get refund on sale especially if you expect refund comming on credit card and not wallet on the site...

I'm on BTInternet. My first time trying anything like this, so lesson learned I guess. If I get my refund then no harm done other than the irritation of not playing the new release I'd set the weekend aside for. It was quite a saving if it had gone through - tons of people swear by them.

That one wasn't exactly obvious... Well then, this is a third-party grey market reseller. Grey market resellers acting not too professional towards their customers ain't exactly news.

To answer your question directly, no, there's no known cases of CDKeys.com being blocked in terms of email.

Sorry... I should have been more specific. The website it actually called "CDKeys".

They are fine, especially if they are giving refunds without hassle about refunding. They are not an official reseller, but they are also not a marketplace for various private reseller users.

Never heard for them....
Ones that I usually buy when I am off Steam are Kinguin or Instant gaming (I got proper refunds from both of them when I asked) sometimes also from Greenman Gaming and Humble Bundle but they do not have solid discounts. But this is first time hearding for this one.
But again usually refunds if they are required on card (especially depending from what country you are) it could take some time....

If they're unable to provide you a key, then they must provide a full refund.

Yes some email providers may block addresses automatically, and only way is either whitelist them, or contact email providers to stop blocking them, or use another email provider. In some cases email may get sent to spam/junk folder, and only have to put them on trusted/whitelisted. Another case is if you by chances accidentally mark them as spam, may have added them to block yourself to which you unblock. If you set up custom rules in your email ensure didn't make a mistake to having the rules to deleting them.

AFAIK cdkeys are ok, they're a store that but stock bulk of keys from people, or from other stores to sell it themselves.

I wonder if they also go directly to the developers or publishers for bulk keys? Or is that one reason why they are not an official reseller?

[MadZec]

Also you should be careful when buying key that it is available to activate it in your country. I had it few time that key for game I bought could not be activated in my country.

I do appreciate the positive response to my question. Cheers all.

AFAIK they only pay to whomever the money goes to, imagine buying from walmart, then selling the stuff you bought that basically how they're doing it. So no money doesn't go to dev/pub on CDKeys as that why they're gray market.
