Before you buy: research the seller

The most important safety step is checking the seller before purchasing. Look for: (1) Seller rating above 95%, (2) High number of completed transactions, (3) Recent positive reviews, (4) Verified seller badge if available. Avoid sellers with no reviews, very new accounts, or prices that seem too good to be true.

How to place an order safely

Always use G2G's official checkout system. Never agree to pay outside the platform, even if a seller offers a discount. When placing an order: choose a listing with clear terms, read the delivery conditions, and confirm the product details match what you need.

After delivery: verify before confirming

Do not confirm delivery until you have verified that the item, currency, or account is exactly as described. For game accounts, log in and check all details. For currency, verify the amount received. For items, check quality and quantity.

What to do if something goes wrong

If the delivery doesn't match the listing or you don't receive the item, open a dispute through G2G's platform. Provide screenshots, timestamps, and any relevant communication. Do not confirm delivery if there is an issue — once confirmed, the payment is released to the seller.

Red flags to watch for

Watch out for: prices significantly below market rate, sellers asking for payment outside G2G, sellers with no transaction history, listings with vague or incomplete descriptions, and any request for personal information beyond what the transaction requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a seller doesn't deliver?
Open a dispute through G2G's platform immediately. Do not confirm delivery. G2G's support team will review the case and determine whether a refund is appropriate.
Should I ever pay a seller outside of G2G?
No. Always use G2G's official payment system. Paying outside the platform means you lose all buyer protection.
How do I check if a seller is trustworthy?
Check the seller's rating percentage, total number of transactions, recent reviews, and how long their account has been active. Higher numbers across all metrics generally indicate a more reliable seller.
