    Well, it looks like I could be done with a certain retail key site lol. Not going to name names as it just happened and could be worked out. Also bought many games and cards there in the past with no problem at all.

    I went last night to buy some $10 Xbox Live cards for the Xbox gold sale that will end soon for like $7.67 with no shield which is now over $3 per item. I bought two from two different sellers and both worked fine. Well I saw something else I wanted for $10 and bought that instead of what I planned on. Figured no problem, I will just buy another one:).

    Well, the problem was that this last card code had already been used. Never came across it before but you are basically out of luck if you have no shield and the code is bad. The seller has 10 days to just respond and then they decide after that lol. Had to do something else for the sale and ended up buying Rocket League and Ark for about half-off each, but I am going to let this bad code issue decide whether I use this site again or not. If I just lose my money (about $8 or so with tax) without a working code, I will be done as a buyer there. You don't even get an email after filing a dispute, and I cant say anything when rating the seller either despite having a box just for that lol.

    Happy with the stuff that I got despite this, but I guess it was only a matter of time before I bought a bad code from somebody. Now, it is simply a matter of waiting to see if the site or seller can rectify this one problem. If the problem is fixed, I may buy there again. If not, this is my message as a former customer:). :clubbed
