Have you actually got any evidence of that?
It's a retailer at the end of the day, not a market place like G2A.
Is CDkey legit?

OP doesnt seem to have responded yet so might not even by cdkeys.com, there is also cjs-cdkeys.com and always thought the latter was a bit dodgy as they sell Russian keys.
cdkeys.com is ok though for me never had an issue.

Ah, I lumped then in with the likes of G2A & Kinguin, which isn't quite right, as you point out.
However, exactly where CDKeys get their keys from in the first place is still somewhat of a mystery.
It's really not, most of the games I have bought from them are physical copies from other regions as evidence by the scan of the key code they send you.

I've been using them for years, and never had an issue with any of their keys. They are not like G2A etc.

Some of them, yes. But not CDKeys. Different business model. The sites you're referring to are a marketplace in which people can sell keys. CDKeys isn't. They sell keys themselves. Different thing entirely and not open to credit card fraud and money laundering.
Yeah it makes all the difference. They can't pass the blame in case of fraud so it would only take one case to bring the entire site down.

Used them for years and not had a problem so far
This hasn't always been the case. AFAIK GMG has never been an authorised seller for Guild Wars 2 - ANet are incredibly picky about it and have a list on their site. Interestingly, they don't list it on their site, however I was fairly sure I had bought it from them, even though it doesn't show in my purchas history either, so I looked through my emails and found the email from them for it. This was before I know about ANet being picky with their resellers.
A bit unhappy they've removed it from my purchase history.

Been looking at this site for Microsoft licenses and being so cheap there has got to be an issue. 2019 standard OEM is normally £600 ish, but they charge £14 for a digital license..????

i have no proof but remember people moaning that the licences can stop working after a while and are not as reliable as buying from proper channels.
not a shock though, look at the price

Used them for well over 2 years now and never had an issue at all.
Searching Windows on cdkeys.com only brought up W7 and W8 for me. There is another site that also has cdkeys in it's name, that iirc, I wouldn't trust.
I only ever bought Win 10 Pro keys (not from CDKeys) and never had an issue with them. I think once they are activated they are activated. I must have bought 10 or so over the years last one in June. However, they do seem to be becoming harder to find.

noticed that later last night and yes I'm thinking the same, re different site.

cjs-cdkeys.com is what I'm looking at atm
CJS is alongside G2A and Kinguin for me in the avoid category.

Yeah deffo avoid them.
