Been buying and reselling digital game keys for a while now, so here's a quick breakdown for anyone getting burned by "90% off" key sites:

Red flags:

• No refund policy at all, or a refund policy that's impossible to actually use

• Prices that are literally impossible (a $70 game for $2 isn't a deal, it's a stolen/charged-back key waiting to get revoked)

• No community or reviews anywhere — just a bare storefront

• Region-locked keys sold without disclosing the region

What legit sourcing actually looks like:

• Keys sourced from regional pricing arbitrage or bulk publisher deals, not stolen cards

• Sellers who show their face/community, not anonymous storefronts

• Instant delivery + a real support channel if a key doesn't activate

I started KeyVault because I got tired of gambling on sketchy resellers and wanted a place where the community can vouch for drops in real time before anyone buys. If you've been burned by a key site before, curious to hear what happened — trying to make sure we're doing this the right way.
