Does it make sense?
It does, it should be the norm for sites where money is involved to allow users to have only one account each.
G2A or not, this is at least one of the few things they do right.
But then they say that VPN could be used to run registered businesses if necessary...

G2A's ToS have 13 points, one of which is titled "6. Obligations of the Seller and the Selling User"

Instead of tying to sound innocent and blame it on their support, you might wan to start reading ToS by yourself. If you're competent enough to read.

what happned is happned, i'm making this thread jsut to let other people know how it works, if the support say something, than you do it wrong, they won't give a shit. and tbh, i have no money on the other account, i was about to sell games, well, i posted them, but none sold, so, i don't want to sound innocent or anything, just talking about how it works. next time, something isn't on the rules, a support tell you a wrong thing, then, you can't talk.

Well the rules are long since they need to cover all the places especially since there is money involved. Would be a disaster for lawsuits if there wasn't those rules. Most of the users don't read those rules and it can end up badly in some cases which is a sad thing.

Asking support isn't bad, if there is something confusing one should always ask them :)

Support should know the rules yes. If support tell you to do something against the rules then yes, they are wrong and you should be refunded. If you broke the rules before asking support about the thing, then you won't be refunded. I hope that you will get the refund since you were told wrongly.

Welcome to the real life. If you don't read something before signing, you can get fucked, and be happy that it only happened with G2A.
Fun way to present it, but you can literally sell yourself out if you skip on rules because you don't feel like reading the stuff.

You've only linked one image.

And he says it's not allowed to have more than 2 accounts, which actually is correct, he didn't say it's allowed to have 2 accounts.

For example, if I say "You can't have 4 apples from me", that doesn't mean you can have 3 apples from me. It may be a matter of bad english skills, but he never flat out said you can have 2 accounts.

nope, i linkd 4, it's an album if you can call it so.
also, he clearly said i'm not allowed to have more than 2 active avvounts, that means, i'm allowed to have 2 or less.
if he can't say a simple sentence, he shouldn't be on the English support, maybe his native language.
i can't talk english flowent either, but this is a simple sentence, he could just say : you can only have 1 active account.

Not being able to have more than 2 is not the same as saying you can have 2, as I just explained. And there's only 1 image.

And seeing as it's not your native language either, things can get lost in translation, and that's why there's a TOS where it's clearly stated what is true and what isn't.

well, so, you are saying it's my fault? i know i did a mistake not reading all the rules. but, in this case, it's the support's fault.
and saying that i'm not allowed to have 2 active accounts, 99.99% of people will understand it as i can have 2 active accounts.
he said you aren't alloewd to have more than 2 active accounts, that means, it's allowed to have 2 or less.

To be honest, this makes the most sense. He created two accounts (which has no use to anyone), has money on balances (Who the fuck puts money in the G2A funds?!) and wanted to merge both balances into one OPSkins account.

You can have as much privacy as you want, but you shouldn't come complaining about a site being shady if you don't want to give any information regarding the subject.

When you agree to TOS you are pretty much saying that you read them and agree to abide by them so you can't put full blame on the support. The first guy may be non-native English speaking and by your reply after him, it comes off as you were going to delete your other account in question and that you understood what he said (which I'm assuming he meant you can't have two active accounts at the same time). While that doesn't fully excuse him, you could have asked for more clarification as the wording is a little off as well as your initial question.

"is it normal to have 2 active g2a accounts?" is more confusing than "Am I allowed to have multiple accounts active at the same time?" For future reference when talking to support, try to be as clear and straightforward as possible to avoid confusion.

And I still don't fully understand why you needed two accounts.

well, i need two accounts, it's none of your or his bissnes, i need it, so i asked if i can have two. i don't fully blame him, but i blame both, because the support did a mistake, and the scond didn't want to give me refund for a mistake that an other support did it. i used English chat, because there is no arabic chat, and my native language is arabic, but i can talk english, but if he isn't a good english talker, he could change to his native language, i doubt that they don't need more languages on the support.

In one post you said that you didn't read the whole TOS and in another you told someone that you didn't ignore their TOS. Which one is it? It can't be both.

With all of the negative posts here about g2a I have no sympathy for those that get screwed over by them but in this case it was your laziness for not reading their TOS that got you into this situation. Their TOS isn't "500 pages of rules" like you claim that it is (https://www.g2a.com/terms-and-conditions?___store=englishus) and with any type of transaction that involves money it's your job to read it before agreeing to use their services as they are the only thing you have to fall back on if things go wrong. You had no reason to ask their support for clarification if you had just read that one whole page of their TOS. It took me only a few minutes read it myself.

It appears to me that the first support person's primary language isn't English and there was a misunderstanding that was later clarified by the second support person. Shit happens. People make mistakes. That's why they have a TOS.

I have never heard of any site that allows multiple accounts so your "private reasons" don't mean a thing to them or anyone else. You tried to skirt the system and now you expect us to feel sympathy for you or something?

there is absolutely no reason to have more than 1 account on a buying/selling site unless you intend on gaming the system. Take your 'personal reason you need 2' excuse and stick it up your ass. Name me 1 website, just 1, that sells things for cash that specifically allows for more than 1 account.

It's clearly stated in the Terms and Conditions. If you have an account on the website, you have agreed with the ToS -> which IMPLIES you're a competent reader who has READ AND AGREED with the Terms and Conditions.

"I didn't know" doesn't cut it when you've agreed to the legal terms that are stipulated in the ToS.

I said buying from g2a is no different from pirating a game. If you think g2a is a legit key seller then you're very much naive.

To be fair:

  • Not reading the ToS is your choice. This means that if you don't know what's in them, that's no excuse. You're responsible for the choice of not reading it. So you are responsible for breaking the rules. Just like most sites they state that you need to agree with the ToS to use their site. Agreeing with something you can't be bothered to read is understandable cause it's a lot of work, but still: your own responsibility.
  • Going off in a complaint-thread about a support employee that isn't that good at English and therefore worded something wrong, doesn't help your case. Just makes you look bad, and will not magically make it okay to break the rules. They really owe you nothing.

That being said I do believe that:

  • After reporting the badly worded answer they should have some extra training for the employee to improve his wording
  • They could have responded in a more professional way instead of 'oh, i guess that was a mistake', with maybe even an apology for any confusion caused. Still they don't really owe you anything.

That's just what I thought when reading your complaint-thread.
Oh...and for the record: I dislike G2A, have never bought there and never will. I just don't like their way of doing business at all.
