Selling on G2A

nims0c · July 2, 2016

Does anyone have experience selling Steam keys on G2A? Is the process easy? Can you get scammed in any way?

In the past, I would give my extra keys to friends, but I don't think they're even playing them so I'd rather make some money if possible.

I resold a key for a game I already owned on G2A like 3 weeks ago, they keep the money for like 2 weeks before giving it to you, so if anything goes wrong, you probably lose it all.

The process itself is easy enough, you paste the key in the box for it and you give it the right title. The hardest for me was to get their automatic title thing to work properly. I was entering the full name, but it wasn't detecting which product itself it was. Had to start typing each letter one at a time and then pick the game's title from the list given.

Oh yeah, and the sell prices are in Euro, for some reason. Or at least, they are for me. Even though I selected CAD, the rest of the site shows CAD but when selling, it's euro.. no idea why. So be ready to do a bit of currency conversion. (easy enough with google.. like " 2 CAD to EURO " and google will show a sort of calculator at the top for this)

Also, be aware of the transaction fees.

Sold for 0.80 EUR, ended up with only 0.39 EUR after the fact.

I don't know if these are flat fees of if they scale up depending on the price, but just be aware of this when pricing your game.
