G2A Seller Scams
So i recently bought a 100 euro wallet code on g2a from a seller called Newcode. I have never had any trouble with sellers on this site before so i didnt look at the reviews. But when i wrote in the code i got this message " The steam Wallet code you have entered has already been redeemed. Steam Support is unable to issue you a new code. " so i started a chat with the seller but no answers yet, and i looked at the reviews of this seller and a lot of people have had the exact same problems with their codes. i dont know what to do right now, i guess all i can do is to wait 7 days for a refund, plz tell me if someone else have had problems with this seller and what you did about it.

You were scammed, that's what this site is known for with its sellers.

In the future, please use trusted third-party resellers like humble bundles, Fanatical etc.

Greed has its consequences, and a lot of those "low prices" are too good to be true.

No, it's censored for reason.

Also if the reseller ask you for an activation date, I can already tell you, Steam Support will not provide you with that information.

As you can see, it is filtered within the Steam community because they're shady.

G2A is a shady website that resells keys for game downloads. The problem with G2A is that it's shady as hell and has been criticized heavily for allowing fraudulent sales that cost developers money.

Rule of thumb: when dealing with shady ♥♥♥♥, things don't have to go wrong. Everything may work out just as well. It's somewhat like gambling, you may get screwed over, you may win.
