How reliable is buying steam keys off ebay? I found a game I

Sounds trustworthy. It could be someone who got a mass of keys for free (business or other) and just needs to offload them and wants to make a quick profit.

I'd trust Ebay before G2A

It's against the rules to sell codes digitally on ebay so even if the code works, you can ask for a refund and ebay will give it to you 100% of the time. I regularly do this to get free games. It's great

Are you absolutely poor/retarded? Buying keys online in general is sketchy, but eBay is a scammers dream come true.

You're a moron. Ebay is a buyer's paradise. The seller has no recourse if the buyer decides to scam

>Are you absolutely poor

No, but I don't feel the need to spend $30 on a game from 2006 when I can buy it for $2/$3 instead. Plus I'd like to buy multiple for my friends.

That's a bit scummy don't you think ?

They break the rules and they pay for it. I'm teaching them a valuable lesson

I've had so many disasters due to poor shipping quality/missing items included that I gave up on it ages ago.

Back in the day, some Californian CS representative would give you spiel, then agree to whatever amount of credit you wanted. Now, some person in India will deny everything wrong with a package they have never even seen pictures of.

Not him but steam arbitrarily marks up worth of games just because they're digital. A game from 1992 can be on steam and still be $20-$30 when its physical variant is like $2.

By following the rules and being more of a scammer/thief? Enjoy the afterlife, pal.

They've completely changed the system a few years ago. Now you instantly get a refund and it's up to the seller to try and get their money back. They never do though

Would never trust ebay for cd-keys because they could be already used. You can file for a refund but that's a hassle if you paid through paypal.

Frequent seller here: The trick is to always think ahead. Example, I just sold about 4300 worth of items this month (Nearly hit quota) and one guy tried to get me on a technicality of one of the items I sent being broken and shattered. (A kindle fire) and he wanted a full refund

I took 5 pictures before I sent it. 3 of the item in high detail including the screen, and two of the packaging company label, the bubblewrap, and the packing elements that it was sent in, all timestamped.

He doesn't even post any pictures for the first week, and then finally does one to "prove me wrong" and its a hairline crack thats so barely visible unless you held it up against the light and he wants a full refund?.

Couldn't have broke even if it wanted to, fucker did it by himself hoping to get re-imbursed.

>Doing whatever you want because you don't think there are any repercussions for your actions
Yeah I'm not religious either but you're a piece of shit if the only thing holding you back from being a cunt is a lack of personal negative consequences. Feel free to neck yourself at the next given opportunity.

Never buy cd keys from eBay. No telling where they got those keys. For all we know they stole them from Walmart and the keys soon go invalidated.

Does PC have region locking? Can I buy an EU code and still work it in NA?
