Selling on G2A

Open
Oshet

So about 2 days ago I sold a leftover key from humble bundle on g2a and its price minus 8% fee and 0.35€ is shown under "Account Balance" but "Available Balance" is still at 0. When I go to wallet overview, it's like this:
G2A Wallet Total Balance
2.23 EUR
G2A Wallet Total Available
-0.57 EUR
So can anyone explain to me how it works and tell me how long it usually takes them to transfer the money to your wallet?

It takes up to 14 days, as they write somewhere in the FAQ.
Efficiently, this means that it takes exactly 14 days every time. Never had it arrive faster than that.

And don't forget that the fee to cash it out is €1+a few%. So unless you want to make next to no money, you need to sell quite a few more keys.

Even if I want to use that money to buy from g2a? Or only if I want to withdraw it?

Only if you want to withdraw it.

Fees for selling is 0,15 placing costs, 0,35 selling fee and 8% of the total price.

If you ask me there should be other better places to sell :(. Also selling 0,50 games will give you a loss :S. Aren't there forums for this? I only want to resell to buy more games, since it seems faster than trading sometimes. But the few experiences I had with g2a really sucked >(.

I try to avoid g2a-like sites as much as i possibly can.

Don't forget the re-posting fees if you cannot sell the key for… er, I can't remember the length. Two weeks?

Yes, indeed. But whats really unaccaptable imho is that they charge you the fee again to if you just alter the price!

And people really like to undermine you with 0,01 cent on that site, so be prepared to have a lot of fees eating away.

I only sold 4 games and that was the last time to >(

To be honest, one look at the fees chart should be obvious it is made for large groups who buy bundle keys in bulk (thousands or more), and a single seller will make next to no money (you are likely to get less money back from selling all keys from a bundle than what a bundle cost in the first place). But I guess it is the kind of thing everyone has to get burned on to understand.

The latter. If you spend it there, there are no fees. They will be super happy that in the end they got the fees AND you even spend the rest of the money there, so they got all the possible money from you. :)

All I heard about G2A selling feature is...fees, fees, fees and a little bit more of those fees. You end up getting way less than what you sold the item for.

Kinguin is a more hospitable place imo.. No listing fee, only a commission, and it takes 'only' 1 week to get your credit - However, they don't offer an option to get actual cash out of the deal, only 'eurBalance' so, credit to buy other stuff on Kinguin.
also, they've never charged me anything to change the price (even though it always says "There are 3 free price changes left. Another one will cost you 0.25 EUR", even after changing it 30 times as a test, so this seems to be more of a bug than a feature :P)

It just takes some time, the fees suck if you wanna deal in pennies I guess. If you got something worth a dollar or more it's reasonable.
