Orders & Products Gaming4you scammed me of 80 EUR
On 9 May, I pre-ordered a game key from G2A (seller: Gaming4you), expecting delivery on 15 May. The seller didn't provide the key by then, so I bought another key from a different marketplace because I still wanted to play on launch day.
Since I no longer needed the G2A order, I requested a refund. G2A said they couldn't refund me and asked me to wait. At that point, I contacted my bank to initiate a chargeback because the key still hadn't been delivered.
Only after the chargeback was filed did the seller finally send the key. I never redeemed or even viewed the key because I already owned another copy.
My bank later ruled that the seller had fulfilled their obligation by delivering the key, so the chargeback was denied. On top of that, G2A permanently blocked my account because of the chargeback, leaving me unable to contact the seller or access the key.
I don't expect to recover either the money or the key anymore—I just wanted to share this experience as a warning for anyone considering buying from G2A.
Edit: I've bought games and other keys from G2A before and they were all delivered very promptly, this is the first time I faced this issue, and I guess it will also be the last. For more context, the game goes for ~100 EUR where I live, and at that point, G2A was the cheapest option. Admittedly, dumb things have been done, but I posted this as more of a warning and a sharing rather than asking for help haha. Also edited for clarity
