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.
