Is G2A.com safe and reliable to use?

hardware_guy

Hey, I am about to build my pc in a couple of days and I heard about G2A.com and the prices for Windows 8.1 pro is very surprising for only £13.00. So i was just wondering how they sell these for so low and if it is safe and reliable to use?

Would you trust a merchant who looks like this?

As for G2A being safe, some had troubles; some didn't. It's a "safe gamble".

I've never had any issues. I normally only buy from G2A themselves and not a private seller, though they do offer some insurance thing as protection but i haven't tried it before so i cannot comment on it.

I bought Wolfenstein from them a few days ago. Took almost exactly 4 minutes for them to 'process' the order and give me the key.

 

They seem ok to me.

I was just gonna buy Windows 8.1 from them, but then they needed something about tokens and wanted to live chat and screen share. It seems really shady to me. Seriously, why can't they just take the money and email me the key?

I think they do that to see if the code was actually valid and if it is they give u a refund for that security thing they offer which u pay for, so if the code is not valid then u get ur money back.
