As I fight G2A and the seller Articdr0p, I was able to reach out to Steam with the code I received that was used. They were able to tell me the date it was redeemed and that alone showed the proof that I didn't redeem it.
Just some advice out there for anyone else who got scammed by G2A or sellers like Articdr0p
Bought two keys of the same game for me and my buddy from this seller Arcticdr0p.
First key was already redeemed and second key worked. Figured accidents happen so I reached out to the seller for a new key or partial refund. Seller never responded. Reached out to G2A, they said to leave a negative review as they are more likely to respond to that.
Left the review and got an immediate response to look out for a message in the message center. No message from them nor a response back to me via my original message.
Provided screenshot of the code saying redeemed and my steam library showing no game by that name and the lack of response from the seller to G2A support. G2A never responded to my chat. In fact it still says waiting for reply from them.
I am well aware of G2A's shady business practices and even more so the shady sellers on here. I figured using paypal would at least cover me incase I get scammed but apparently I was wrong. Paypal sided with G2A because despite my evidence they were unable to confirm if I redeemed the code or not.
Lesson learned though screw G2A, screw paypal and if you read this Articdr0p I hope you get Alpha-gal syndrome and can't eat meat anymore 😃
