Buying CD Keys

[Jaladhjin]

So I've recently been searching for an Overwatch key & found myself wondering about one scenario I couldn't prevent.. & don't think I'd have a lot of recourse in..

The concern is I buy an Overwatch key from whomever.. all goes well no problems.. then the key itself gets returned by the original buyer..

I suppose if we did it properly as a good in PayPal.. I may have at least one leg to stand on.. maybe..

How could I attempt to avoid this.. short of the usual reputable sellers.. ideally people won't do this..

Yeah.. I would like to think no one would do this either.. but it's all I've been concerned about lately as a potential buyer..

Your seller bought Overwatch from Blizzard and most likely made a chargeback after selling it to you.

that's precisely the issue I'm referencing yes..

the question is how to avoid such things.. or have some recourse..

if they either return the original purchase or chargeback..

That's currently what's stopping me from making any key buys..

Find someone reputable, verified, and with a long history of feedback. If you can't find someone similar, then YOU have to use your best judgement.

I'd rather spend an extra $10-25 to know my CD-KEYS will be valid.

You find deals on keys that much off ?

Most of the keys I find.. even $5 more for a MM or something makes them retail cost :-/

Like your signature right now I'm noticing.. $20 for any game..

I've been looking for Overwatch.. $39.99 retail for a Standard key..

A seller says how 'bout $30 - 35..

If I don't get it for that.. may as well not deal with the stress & buy it from Blizz..

At this point I'm almost better off sure if I'm just lookin' for a single key for myself..

I mean sure.. if I was lookin' to pick up a ton of keys from bulk sale buyers.. that'd change the dynamic a great deal..

I'd also be a different kind of buyer myself at that point..

Just buy the retail copy if it's $5 or $10 more...

If you're so concerned about saving money then wait for it to go on steam sales.

yeah.. seems to be true the small discounts aren't worth the stress.. /shrug
