CDKeys? Yeah, no thanks. Usually I wouldn't use the gray market, so that's a big "no" for me.
I'll wait for a better deal. I'm not in a hurry.

While I cannot guarantee for anyone, during the past 7 months I had five orders with multiple products for a total of €56.59 all delivered by cdkeys without any issue up to this day. My orders included products belonging to various platforms including Steam, GOG and Origin. That's more than I can say for other "bigger" players like IG, GMG or BS where it's usually a wonder when my orders get processed without any issues.
The only thing I disliked about cdkeys was the fact they didn't disclosed beforehand that each transaction must be validated by entering a code that is sent to you via a text message on your phone so you have to give them your phone number. While I'm comfortable giving a phone number for validation purposes I would never provide a scanned copy of my ID like others claimed it was asked from them. So as long as they don't get greedy with their requirements and judging by the nice experience I had with them thus far I'll buy from them again in the future. From all the players out there, in my opinion, they are among the better ones.
EDIT: Being blacklisted for sharing my experience shows how shallow some of you really are. It also makes me wonder if it's worth wasting my time writing comments or getting involved anymore.

I cannot speak for the others, but I think your opinion is valid. If you didn't have any problems with CDKeys, that's good for you. Me personally, I'd usually rather not to risk to do a purchase of keys on these kinds of sites (like CDKeys, G2a, Kinguin, etc...), but that's just me.

At the end of the day you can get lucky with your key not being revoked, but if it does get revoked you end up paying much higher than you would have for a normal ROW authorised steam key because you need to buy it again and again after being revoked.
More so, grey market seller keys have a significant %age originating from chargeback frauders in which case not only are you NOT supporting the developer who actually made the game which you are enjoying in the first place, but in fact it COSTS them money from credit card chargebacks. Which is why small indie developers have come out & said please just pirate our games instead of buying them on the grey market, a lost sale is one thing but we can't afford to pay for chargebacks.
I didn't blacklist you but you should know what the main issue people have with grey market sellers and why it makes them so angry \o/
