Essential rules to protect your money and gaming profiles when purchasing digital goods online.
Keep all transaction communication on the official marketplace's chat system. Never switch to external chat applications, as marketplaces cannot verify external logs in disputes.
Buy exclusively from established sellers with a high percentage of positive ratings and a record of successful deliveries over several months.
Ensure two-factor authentication (2FA) is active on your gaming profiles. When buying codes or items, use safe delivery locations where available.
Some sellers may request you to click "Received" or "Order Completed" early. Never do this. Doing so releases the funds from escrow and cancels your buyer protection.
Complete transactions through the marketplace checkout cart. Avoid direct payments (e.g., direct bank transfers or family/friends transfers) suggested by individual sellers.
Take screenshots or video recordings of the checkout process and the in-game delivery/trade. If a dispute arises, this serves as definitive proof for support agents.
