    Evening everyone,
    Am trying to purchase a game off Steam and they are asking for around €50, shops for €40 and Amazon for €30 but does not ship. Found few sellers on EBay selling game codes for Steam for around €20. Good few positive reviews. Question is:
    Has anyone dealt with EBay Steam codes? Is it worth the savings? I mean once activated on Steam it's yours for good, isn't it? Hardly it can be transferred? :confused:

    Most likely bought Russian steam or similar (and if you activate that code you're risking your account accordingly as per new TOS).

    Don't trust the website, asking too much info, paypal payment alone seems not sufficient. Pass.

    Can always ask EBay user where it originates from I guess. Find it unfair to pay €50 for Steam game when you can get it for less than €30, even from Amazon.co.uk.

    Very grey area these websites.. Not sure should I bother with them at all, seems the keys originate from outside EU even.
