Question/Help Bandcamp gift cards on Eneba work?

Today I was going to purchase some music on Bandcamp for the first time in a few months. I already had some issues in the past with my cards. (Not only did they not work, but my bank recognized the purchase attempt as "suspicious", and I had to go get a new card because they blocked it). However, one of them was working well, and that was the one I was using to buy music there.

BUT, today I found out that cards doesn't work anymore, nor any of the other ones I have.

I'm really upset about it, since Bandcamp is my main place to get music in (especiallybecause signal is pretty bad where I work, so, if I want to listen to anything, it must be already downloaded on my phone).

But whatever, getting to the point. Looking for options, I found out that Eneba sells some gift cards. Not sure of trustworthythe site is, or if they work where I am (I'm from Chile, and they are labeled as only for the US region, but I'm not sure if that really matters, since it's not like the region where you are matters as much as with, for example, a Steam Key).

Also, if they were to work, would the musicians still get their money? I know that, with videogames, none of the money of a purchase in Eneba goes to the devs, so I'm also a bit worried about that.

So, any idea if it would be a good idea to buy one? (If you can think of another alternative for me, that's very welcome too!)

Thanks in advance

Just use paypal. I'm in Mexico and while my cards work fine on BC, there's also the paypal option

I tried, but the button to "charge funds" in Paypal keeps throwing me to a 404 page, and I don't know how else to put money in there

Eneba is trustworthy! Bought lots of cards and games BUT never bandcamp ones, I can testify about the platform though
