how do you get verified or added to the "most reliable cd key store" part.. ?

We got rid of the "Approved list" for a couple of months now. There were to many incidents with revoked keys, delayed deliveries, fraud, and very "basic" English customer support that we decided, we can't vouch for any CD-Key shop. Not even for a shop like Keys4.me with a flawless record and native English customer support.

Actually we were about to remove them completely from the site and close the forums for them. Only after an intern discussion, it was decided to kept the forum open and a very basic "Buy at your own Risk" section on the Steam Alternatives page. We realized that for some users CD-Key shops are the only source for affordable games or to circumvent region locked stores. Like these of Steam and EA. The forums remained open so users can share each other their experiences with CD-key stores.

So there is no "verified", "most reliable" or "approved list" only a "disapprove list" for shops that sold fraudulent Steam keys which got people Steam accounts disabled.

What we offer is to open a sub-form in the CD-key store section. There you can advertise your shop, post deals and respond to customer feedback. We will not moderate these forums except in extreme cases. If customers give negative feedback we will not delete any posts.

After sometime and I speak of months. We can put your shop on the "Buy your own risk" section. Because even that, some users would consider as some form endorsement and a vouch for reliability. Thus we don't bother to edit the page for every new out of the blue shop.

One advise for you to avoid negative feedback. Try to be honest.  Tell people right away if your do ID scan or a telephone callback. If sell scans or only deliver a email with key. No one like to pay first and then get surprised with "complications". The forums are full with complains about this topic.
