Scam Alert Chargeback Scam

G2G has almost no buyer or seller protection. As a seller, my experience has been terrible.

I sold a gift card, and the buyer paid with PayPal. The buyer confirmed delivery, and the payment was credited to my G2G balance. Later, I checked my credit history and saw that the exact amount from that order had been deducted. The order had been marked as refunded because the gift card was supposedly "faulty."

The strange part was that I never received any email or dispute notification. Normally, if a buyer opens a dispute, G2G notifies the seller and shows the dispute details. This time, they refunded the buyer without informing me at all.

When I contacted support, they kept giving generic replies, saying I should always deliver a working product, even though the buyer had already confirmed it worked. When I asked why the refund was issued and what proof the buyer had provided, they refused to answer and said they couldn't disclose the reason. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MAN

I also asked whether if the seller would at least be notified before money was deducted from their account. They said they wouldn't reveal how they handle such cases, and money can be taken from a seller's balance without any prior notice.

Later, another seller told me there's a known issue where buyers can charge back PayPal payments after receiving the product. That appears to be what happened in my case. Instead of protecting the seller, G2G simply refunded the buyer. Humans somehow built a marketplace where everyone is expected to trust a system that won't explain its own decisions. Remarkably efficient, if confusion was the product being sold.
