Has anyone purchased keys and every now and again it says code was redeemed already? If so, what did you do?
I've probably purchased 5-6 of these over the past several months, a few hundred dollars worth, and all have worked without trouble.
I try to save evidence along the way of checking out (maybe a screen shot, order #s, the codes themselves) in case I have to prove my purchase, but I have never had to use any of it.

I bought a $100 iTunes gift card FROM THIS SELLER on eneba in September. Redeemed it just fine. A week ago (so almost 4mo later), someone apparently called Apple and claimed that the gift card they bought was fraudulently redeemed (by me) and Apple has locked/disabled my iTunes account. I've spent hours trying to convince Apple to unlock my account. Save yourself some future aggravation, just walk away and don't buy 3rd party iTunes gift cards except from a reputable retailer (like Target, the grocery store, etc). I wish I had never bought that gift card, the $14 savings was SO not worth it. Never again!
Edit: oh, and I have 2 other $100 Apple gift cards that I bought from this seller in December. So even if I get Apple to unlock my iTunes account now, what are the odds that this is going to happen to me again in 2mo when the scammer calls in to report my those as fraudulently redeemed? I provided screenshots to Apple from Eneba with the redemption keys visible, but this is a disaster waiting to happen (again…and an again, in my case!). Ugh, I'm screwed.

Holy crap! So sorry to hear that... Now, this will give me pause next time this deal comes along. I normally buy them from Target and/or Best Buy, when they combine $100GCs with $15-20 of their own. I'll just stick to that, then.
Where do y'all think all the scam cards to "pay the IRS" and stolen credit cards are used for? Stuff like this. The gift card sites were full of stuff like this with fraudulent returns, etc. You're basically funding crime rings and SD should not be promoting shady stuff.
I've never had a problem with this seller (RegentGames) on Eneba. From what I understand Eneba only sells for vendors who verifiably get their product through wholesale and/or rebates and do not allow sellers who use fraudulent measures. I am not affiliated with slickdeals or eneba and can't verify any of that.
Well I've bought over 50 cards over the past two months (all different amounts and while almost all of them worked. Two did not. I'm not lying. Why would I be? I'm trying to find out if anyone else has had this problem too. It probably won't occur for the people who only purchased 1-2 cards or small amounts

I have bought one or two from Eneba too, so far my account not locked yet, but I'm never buying it on this site anymore. The other site called Kinguin is even worse, total scammer, they ask for your selfie holding a photo ID to process transaction LOL

Happened to me last spring/summer. Purchased a $100 Nintendo eshop gift card, but was already used. Took about two weeks to fix the issue. Had to provide my Nintendo account details and call Nintendo, to obtain records and prove to Enaba that the gift card was used by somebody else. They really only care about the sellers and not the buyer. The seller seems to have gone unpunished and is still active.
Don't use this site. Even with some users reporting no issues, it's not worth the hassle.
I bought one that showed disabled when I tried to redeem. I filed a ticket and got the refund a couple days later but now it appears they've blacklisted me from buying more cards.
