I was on g2a and I was just about to buy something when I saw a tab that you have to put in where you're from. I'm from the UK, so that means for whatever reason it's 20% VAT. There is an option for 'Outside of the European Union' and it had 0% vat (I'm paying for Fallout 4 Pre-Order).

  Do you think if I choose the 0% VAT option the transaction and games will be fine? Or do you think I should suck it up and take the extra 20% VAT? I can't test this theory as I barely have any money on my card  :P

I would try one of those random steam keys for under $2. 

don't ever do this. you won't get shit.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Well I don't really advise G2A. I tried to buy Torchlight II from there a year and a half ago, but the key did not work at all and said somebody already used the key. I had to get a new key but the process took a day. One day may not seem like much to you but it's an annoyance to someone who wanted to really play the game.

I only buy from people that have 100% and lots of reviews or g2a itself

Obviously.

 

Even after making the purchase from 5-star and 100% sellers, the key didn't work. I would always take caution when buying from them.

i've bought a fair few games from G2A, steam and uplay keys, and i've done outside EU, and have had nothing come of it, but legally as long as what you purchase comes under £15 you don't have to pay VAT anyway and i doubt it'd cover digital goods no matter the value.

I thought G2A was susceptible to the key scams you see popping up everywhere, like those Farcry 4 keys that got stolen. I don't want to sound like someone's mum, but I would be careful. But apparently lying about your country saves you 20%. Yay.
