I went with your site as well since the price went up on Eneba. Tried to get Standard but all low price sellers were sold out, so got Deluxe for $18.08 after fees and paid with Paypal. Downloading on Xbox now, thanks!
Using express VPN set to Egypt and Eneba keeps rejecting my credit card, both of them. It says to close any VPNs and a few other steps to try. Anyone have any ideas, I really want this damnit.

quit fear mongering...not all of us are avid gamers spending and redeeming hundreds of game codes illegally; obviously they'll target high repeat offenders
Just trying to help. No need to be nasty. This site is all about helping others. I literally just posted a Front Page deal 2 days ago, so I have no reason to put fear into anyone. Everyone makes their own decisions, but it is valid to let ppl know the risk. My friend maybe only had 10 games himself in a 3 year period bought from Eneba and Ebay using PIA VPN, all Argentina or Turkey. That's not 100s of games. Buying NEW games this way is a risk especially because using a code for a game is different than buying directly from Xbox or a retailer. Getting a COD, Halo or GOW code isn't as risky because they came with consoles...but games like Baldurs Gate didn't as far as I know. Just Google search VPN bans. Plenty of ppl have had bans. Again...if it doesn't bother you, GREAT!...BUT some ppl may find it helpful.

You don't need to be Egypt when buying, only redeeming.
Also use PayPal

Don't use the VPN to make the purchase, only to redeem the code.

He must have done something really illegal then. I've bought hundreds of keys and redeemed with a VPN with no consequence.
Buying using a VPN is really iĺlegal if you want to get technical. It violates your agreement with Xbox. His Ban listed directly what he was banned for. It mentioned the game and country of the codes origin. Look, I'm not saying your gonna lose access to your games. That rarely happens unless you break numerous rules after being warned....BUT losing 1000s of hours of game saves would be a gut punch. That's not replaceable.

So is buying games while traveling in a foreign country or if you move to a different country and started buying games there, would that be illegal as well? I'm guessing your "friend" was caught committing marketplace fraud or some method of defrauding Microsoft rather than getting banned for turning on a VPN and redeeming some keys.

Why would you lose your saves only? You'd keep access to the games but lose the saves?
Did any get a message from Microsoft that some may have used your account and had to change password after doing this deal?
That wouldn't be unusual. On their end it looks like you just suddenly logged in from Egypt and then back at your home location. That kind of activity will automatically trigger a suspicious login warning. Change your password if you feel uncomfortable, but it's not likely someone else got into your account

Don't use the vpn to purchase the code. Only use it to redeem it.
