How does G2A work?

G2A is a shady site. Don't risk on it too much.

While there are many people with pleasant things dealing with them, many on the opposite end either. So yeah...

As zeroxxx says, avoid them

It is the grey market, so think of it like ebay but set prices instead of auctions. Some good, some bad, buy at your own risk.

The adverts I've seen for it are terribly bad and incredibly annoying. I've avoided the site purely because of them.

I get tons of good deals on it. Any problems you have support is actually pretty great at handling any problems you're experiencing. Check it out for yourself! https://www.g2a.com/r/rejected_galaxy

I've used G2A a couple times, never had an issue. Granted this was before Steam really started going hard on regional locks and the like. YMMV. Most grey market sites like G2A function on either buying keys from someone at a low prices, then re-selling at a higher price or exploiting regional pricing then re-selling for profit. I'd say the risk is on you most the time, if the deal seems good enough to counter the possible risk of the key not working/already being used, or revoked, then go for it if that is what you want. It's really not a whole lot different than using the trade forums here, other than you don't directly deal with the person you are getting the key from. I'd highly recommend never buying anything that states you will need to use a VPN to activate it on steam though, that shit can get your steam account banned.

This is how it works:

1. Someone buy games with stolen credit card
2. He sell his loot on G2A
3. You buy it
4. You make a giveaway
5. The credit card company cancels the transaction
6. Winner mark your giveaway as not received.

1. Don't buy from G2A

How it works:

1. G2a steals games from devs.
2. Sells them in their store.
3. Someone buys it.
4. Devs decide to revoke games.
5. People lose their games.
6. Angry customers go against devs and G2a.

g2a is just like any trading sites. Ppl like me buys games on sales, bundles etc. and after the sale we sell it on g2a etc. The same thing as here on the trade forum.When u buy from well known sellers u don't get scammed. when someone has thousands of +reps i don't think he wants to scam you. And u can always use their shield so u get refund when something goes wrong. I'm one of the g2a sellers, got like 350 +reps, also bought 5games from kinguin and ddn't had any problem at all.
