Been ordering on G2A for the past 2 years and never had any problem whatsoever, all transactions go smouthly and it takes less than 3 minutes to get my keys. Recommended
I bought a lifetime one-time purchase for Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 Mac edition and i be been using it fine until Tuesday when i got blocked from acrobat pro receiving an message from Adobe that my license key is Invalid and not legal, thus they revoked my key. I contacted the seller and they claimed that "This is a known problem and occurred because from what we see, you tried to install the key in a second machine", which is not true!
They refused to deal with my problem, so i contacted Adobe and asked them to audit my key license and see what's happening.
They informed me that the key license is illegal the reseller is not authorized and that this license key is a product of piracy. I explained to them the response i got from the reseller and they replied that this is not true because i can install the license key in 2 machines (even though i did not!).
They specifically said that the key got revoked because it's illegally obtained and it's a product of piracy. In my question why this happened after so long they explained that adobe runs key audits every now and then randomly and that's why it got revoked. The seller refuses to either refund me or replace my license key.
G2A is covering the seller and they email me excuses.
Yip, it's a scam. Wish I read the reviews before trying to buy. Try buying a game on line when nothing happened. No login information, no passwords would be accepted nada.
G2A allow sellers to provide invalid and previously used keys and then when provided with proof that the key is bad avoid their obligations under their supposed Money Back Guarantee by demanding that you report an international crime to your local law enforcement agent before they'll proceed with any sort of action. They are as bad as the dodgey sellers they host. DON'T BUY FROM THESE GUYS!
THESE CROOKS!
They automatically sign you up for some bullcrap $3/mo program when you make a purchase!
I purchased a 21$ copy of windows office and looked over the terms pretty carefully, to make sure there wasn't any extra stuff being tacked on. Despite my efforts, a couple of weeks later I get an invoice showing an "automatic" $3 charge for something I had NO CLUE about.
There have to be THOUSANDS of people getting ripped off daily by these guys. I haven't been this aggravated in a long time from a purchase. It's not so much the $3, it's the SLEAZY move that such a popular company would make.
If they are going to do something this dishonest from the beginning, what could happen in the future?
I have NEVER seen a company do something so sleazy, I'm ASTOUNDED a company this big is making such a massive effort to rip people off.
I will never buy from G2A again and there will be NOTHING that will make me omit this review and sharing the truth with everyone.
After much faffing around I finally get it! G2A is like AuoTrader not Amazon.
If you have any issues with a third party seller you are on your own. G2A cannot help.
Buying from G2A is fairly straightforward although their is some uncertainty around their sourcing of game keys.
Their is a subscription button and fee's for inactivity, also a transaction fee which increases the total price (on new titles, you'll save pennies, not pounds) so check each page before you proceed.
If your buying from a third party, check the reviews or your going to get burned.
Bottom line, buying from G2A direct is like buying any second hand product, some risk. If your buying from a third party the risk increases so you need to thoroughly check out the buyers reviews.
Compare prices as they are certainly not always cheaper. Summary, G2A is a honey trap, behind lots of fanfare and show its on par with online Poker sites a lot of effort has gone into dressing up a second hand site and hiding lots of hidden charges.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! My Visa gift card was stolen. I gave this company all the information... email address, card number, screen shots of the purchase, dates, and they kept saying they have no record of the purchase.
Very complicated registration of items on Steam. Did not work. I asked for the purchase amount back. G2A has not responded. G2A is not recommended in any way.
Order number **************. After 1 week i dont know if and when i will rrceive my refund, i bought a key from this scammer: Gramgift, Do not buy from this seller. He gave me an already redeemed key, and he doesnt want give me refund, i have proof of a official email from microsoft. G2a support, doesnt answer, and before someone reply to this review, dont write thingd like we will respond on you paypal dispute, because its not true, after 1 week, no one reply on paypal dispute, and the seller and g2a doesn answer. I am finishing here, i will post this reviee everwhere, becauss this is a fraud, and you dont wanna give me money.
I bought a game for $1.50. They tacked on an extra $3 for warranty which they refused to refund because me ASKING FOR A REFUND constituted them rendering warranty services, according to them. They then equated insurance over a $1.50 video game to health/car insurance and how i'd be a fool to go without it.
These people are shady scammers. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!
G2a banned me today for no reason, no surprsed due to ive been treated like a free faucet/nodeposit claimer. They just refuse to reply after ive sent 5 emails and believe me all peopple were contacted. Ive spent 1000$ on site. When this site starts perfoming financialy poorly tey will realize screwing many people over wasnt woth it. Note that im south african so i pay more.
Key not working, support wont do anything. I'm waiting since 1 1/2 month and Key exchange or refund.
Sind 14days if opened a PayPal supportcase.
Never Again.
Tried to buy a key. Was sold an entire steam account, noticed my mistake and contacted seller for a refund as buying and selling accounts is illegal and against steam TOS. Seller refused and said that i knew what i was buying, filed for refund with paypal and waiting for g2a to respond. Seller on g2a is world of games. DO NOT BUY FROM G2A OR WORLD OF GAMES! Hopefully steam starts to see g2a should not be allowed to continue with this service and files a lawsuit of some nature.
EDIT: G2A removed my review on Trustpilot and on the G2A website itself and also revoked my right to post ANY reviews on the G2A website. THESE ARE SHADY COMPANIES, DONT GIVE THEM MONEY. Pictures include seller telling every single person the same thing, the seller requests to have the reviews removed from G2A and they usually get there wish. Go look right now and 90% of the reviews from the most recent day are negative and they will have them removed within a week.
G2a is not legit I ordered a game but didn't know it was a Europe key at first when I learned it couldn't be activated in America I reached out to g2a they told me they couldn't refund my money back & that they was not the blame but instead they sent me a list of bs games that was no where near comparable to what I bought they told me to choose two of the bs games which My fingers couldn't even bare to click on such horrible games like that talking about choose two I can't even choose 1 if u truly felt like you're not the blame u not gonna give someone two free games but I'm cool just wanted to let everyone know be careful when buying from g2a
One of the cheapest comparison sites for instant download keys on PC, Xbox and others - many keys direct from developers and some cheap loot boxes with some good games in.
G2A.COM offer a huge selection of games with good prices. Definitely a good place and its my first time to order from g2a and no problem with my steam key
They charge you for stuff you didn't agree to and setup monthly charges for some fake pro subscription, that is completely useless. That is without you approval of course.
Always had great experience with g2a one thing i do not understand how can they offer cheaper prices them steam prices are always lower. How can they do that, but they dont have everything steam have
They signed me up to G2A Plus without any knowledge or consent, and without even being signed in to my account. I made sure the G2A Plus offer was toggled off and didn't show the extra amount making my purchase more expensive than elsewhere. I managed to reproduce it in a simulated transaction with it not showing any added G2A Plus whatsoever.
My bank's card verification was for a single transaction of the product's amount, with G2A Plus costs taken in a separate transaction that I never authorized. On top of that, it is a subscription, so they would have kept taking my money had I not noticed.
They also saved my card while that was never authorized. The checkbox was specifically left unchecked, also because it's a temporary card anyways.
And they signed me up to their newsletter while having never signed up to such, and with it completely turned off in my account settings. It doesn't even have a working Unsubscribe button on the page they redirect you to.
Support says to not be able to do anything, not even add the tiniest bit of credit to my account for their numerous and most definitely illegal mishaps.
They used to be fine, but all these antics means I'm done with G2A. I urge truly everyone to be most aware, and to use any of the other, similar marketplaces instead.
They dont want to refund me, they want me to file a police report for a 20€ code not working. This have to be a joke, the worst support i have ever seen
Answer: They claim to have a guaranteed money back system but don't buy into that. They don't. They don't even acknowledge the 14 day cooling of period on online purchases that is a law in the EU. So basically they are criminals.
Answer: Its a scam block ur cc and report fraud never go there again
