G2G is one of the oldest and largest peer-to-peer marketplaces for digital gaming goods, including coins, items, skins, and game codes. Because the platform connects third-party buyers and sellers directly, G2G has built a suite of security features called the G2G Shield to protect transactions. This guide explains how to use these features to buy safely.
What is G2G Shield?
The G2G Shield is an escrow payment protection system. When you pay for an order, your money is held securely by G2G. The seller is notified to deliver the items, but they do not receive the payout until you click "Confirm Receipt" on your dashboard. This eliminates the risk of a seller taking your money and refusing to deliver.
Key Safety Rules for G2G Buyers
- Verify Seller Rating: Examine the seller's positive feedback percentage and completed order count. Select sellers with ratings above 97% and a strong transaction history.
- Do Not Confirm Early: Vague instructions from sellers asking you to confirm the order before delivery must be ignored and reported. Confirming releases the funds, canceling your protection coverage.
- Keep Chats on G2G: Always use G2G's integrated chat room. Never discuss details on Discord, Steam, or in-game chats. Safe transactions require verifiable platform logs.
What to do in a Dispute?
If a seller does not deliver within the specified timeframe, open a dispute immediately. Provide screenshots or video recordings of your in-game trade window or profile status to support your claim. G2G's 24/7 customer service will review the evidence and issue a refund if the seller failed to deliver.
