G2A PayPal Chargeback method

Warning, I rambled a bit, go down to the * to read about the method.

Hey everyone, I wanted to contribute to the forums a bit more than just on my thread, so I thought I'd help a few people out.

This method is probably very common and known by the majority of people here, but there may be a few that are out of the loop and could use this information. So, if you are a regular G2A customer, then read on!

So we all want games for free right? But unless you can win all the giveaways in the world, that just isn't possible, so we settle for getting them for a few pounds or dollars cheaper. Well, seeing as G2A is a market and a lot of the keys on their are funded using false methods (not all of them before someone calls me out on that) so what would be so wrong about getting a free game from the larger sellers on G2A every once in a while?

Personally, I go by a very loose ratio of 3:1, so 3 legit purchases and 1 I chargeback, I say loose because sometimes I just purchase all of my games and that's it, other times I will buy a few and refund the majority. Personally it all just depends really on how large the seller is and the amount I pay for the game.

Anyways, I'm rambling on, if you want to do this method, simply pay VIA PayPal, get the game, whether it is a gift or key (I suggest a key but a gift does work, I have tested this over a dozen times by now) then once you have received it. Go onto paypal about an hour or so later and open a dispute about your recent order on G2A, (I say an hour or so later so the next part seems realistic) and make a dispute, now this part is up to you, you can either escalate it to a claim straight away and claim you and the seller had a dispute about it already and they are not willing to refund even though you believe you are entitled to one, or you can wait two, three days and then escalate it saying pretty much the same thing; the seller did not want to issue a refund.

Now you just have to wait 10 days and voila, you will get a refund. The 10 days you wait to get the refund is the amount of time the seller has to respond, but they never do.

It is a longer wait than some of the G2A SE methods available on the Marketplace and by all means, if that is the way you want to go, then do it! The Marketplace is full of eager helpers. I just wanted to get this method out to the few who are out of the loop

Thanks for reading!
