I've had no issues with any of the keys i've purchased from g2a.
Just make sure you buying from someone with a high/decent user rating and always use the g2a shield.

No it is not.

Windows 8 is not available anywhere in the world at the prices that G2A offers it for. The keys that are sold on G2A are keys that have been provided for free by Microsoft to students, charitable organizations, academic organizations, etc... under a non-transferable licence.

Anyone who sells or purchases these keys is directly undermining Microsoft's good will and outreach initiatives. The key may be invalidated, and the purchaser will receive neither refund nor sympathy.

No, absolutely not. They stiffed me for £30 for a game key then washed their hands of it when it turned out to be a key for a six year old previous installment of Dragon Age. Also, there are multiple examples of people being sold stolen, copied, already used Windows keys by G2A and then having their complaints ignored. G2A is a scam.

A short bit of researching revealed that G2A is an unregulated marketplace for people who have obtained game keys dishonestly, for example with stolen credit crads or hacked bank details, to offload them and create cash. There are several cases of G2A customers having game keys revoked because they were originally obtained dishonestly.
