A question about G2A.com

Closed

So I was hearing rumors about the shadiness of this site, that it gives wrong keys, or doesn't even deliver keys, and even sold Devolver Digital's game keys unathorizedly, and so on. So my question is, if I buy the key from their selected partner, and pay for the shield (to make sure that it arrives 100%) can I feel myself safe? What are your thoughts? Or just buy the key from the lowest high rated seller, but pay for shield? So what are your thoughts? Please only give opinions, if you have actually purchased from the site. Thanks!

I'd buy it with PayPal, so in worst-case scenario, I would just ask for a refund, right?

EDIT: I placed order on Watch Dogs + Deluxe Content (for the White Hat pack) + Season Pass, got the 2 add-ons, but not he base game. For the Season Pass, I had to contact their support, and they needed me to Screenshare (!!!) my computer with join.me. Then after 3 minutes of waiting, an assistant connected, and told me, that the seller ran out of keys, so I have to rebuy the game. SWEET!
Fortunately I had enough funds (still waiting for the refund btw), so I rebought it from the SAME guy. Okay, THEN it needs phone verification, and says, they didn't get money from Paypal (EVEN BETTER), but the assistant told me, that she'll look at my order number, and got it solved. Finally everything arrived, and she saw, that it was working, and I got like 7 mail from G2A in a 30 minute period. I hope that it WILL arrive before The Secret World Massive goes on sale, otherwise, I won't be able to buy it.
If we are speaking about refund, how fast was it's arrival? 1 day, 2 days, or even more?

I've bought a bunch of games from them and never had any trouble at all.

Of course YMMV with unauthorised resellers, but personally I see no reason to stop using them.

Bought several games there without shield and got no problems so far. When buying keys from other ppl on paypal i always choose those who already sold a lot of keys and have good rep.

Might be bad luck on your side cause I've bought a lot of games from G2A and everything is working fine for me hehe.. and yeah, without the shield, it's just a waste of money
