Preferably to a company/business rather than to a private buyer off ebay/amazon?

Which pays the best prices?

    Facebook or Gumtree, I dont know of any company who will buy the odd digital code off a member of the public.

    G2A may "buy" them off of you or allow you to host the code for sale for a cut of whatever you get.

    Ok apart from cash or bank transfer is there any quick payment methods that has the less risk in chargebacks?

    If I do accept paypal what I must do on there to minimise the risks of chargeback?

    Sell it with no refunds.

    Cash only, cash on collection.

    Imsold 1 one on ebay and luckily the buyer didn't do a chargeback.

    HI!
    Just to clarify - G2A offers you a place to sell your codes, they don't buy them off you. Think of them like eBay for game codes.

    Why choose them over ebay if they both the same?

    So buying including the words 'no refunds' in the ebay auction I am immune from possible charge backs?

    I cant actually remember the actual description I used.


    The ebay board might be a better option to ask for advice.

    Cause of targeted audience? G2A is used pretty much only by gamers, so you are guaranteed to have a buyer. eBay houses everything, so your offer may be lost in the crowd.
