But several times now myself and some friends have had our tickets requesting refund from the sellers (for used keys)
deleted before the message even reached the seller.
The site is always begging people to offer advice and praise but then they go and
pull underhanded s**t like this.
I guess that's the benefit of running a known risky shop from from Hong Kong...none of the people you're ripping
off can afford to the plane ticket to shoot up your office and there's no sympathy for failed purchases because everyone
knows key purchasing / trading in forums or from stores is high risk.
I feel bad for those duped f***s buying $60 + games from that site.
Yep, I'm the rep you're all talking about here - well, maybe not THE rep, as I don't remember replying on GOG forums myself, but I'm definitely A rep :)
As regards your case - there's a great difference between tickets and Resolution Center cases, and I think you are referring to the latter, since tickets reach us and us only, whereas RC cases are between you and the seller - at first. The RC cases are not closed/deleted before being delivered to the seller - it is all automated and as soon as you set up a case, the seller gets a notification about it with the content of the message. This means that even if we were to close the case outright, without even letting the seller explain anything (which we don't, we always give the sellers time for a reply), they would still have the case notification hanging in their mailbox.
Maybe, and that's a big maybe, you're referring to Customer Support tickets - such messages are sent to our specialists, which in turn can offer advice, but not resolve the situation through a ticket outright. We have set up the Resolution Center especially to deal with this kind of situations and if the case needs to be conducted through there, our consultants can only guide you exactly where you need to go.
Last thing - the Shield. The Shield is not a service that exclusively offers you the refund option - it simply acts as a VIP route, giving you reduced waiting time and more options to choose from. You can still receive the refund without it. We cannot deny you the refund for the faulty product if you have purchased it, and that is exactly the reason the Resolution Center is for - to allow you to solve the case and receive a refund, or a replacement directly from the seller. The Shield is only there for people who wish to be treated with haste - and this is only referring to the Support, the Shield has a few other benefits as well.
One last thing - this time for real - if you have any issue with the way you and your friends have been treated, please send us an e-mail at helpdesk@g2a.com with all the info necessary for us to locate and check the cases. We will see what happened there and let you know how it can be resolved as fast as possible!
Best,
