Buying Steam games with BTC without getting scammed?

[BiTJack]

I won't recommend G2A at all but these are some of the websites i have used to buy games with bitcoin, never had a single issue with any of them.
steambitshop, bit-keys, key4co.in & steamgamesbtc. Hope that helps.

Wait what, since when that G2A accepting Bitcoin. I never know that, I thought that the only way is just using CC.
This is very great, G2A accepting Bitcoin.

I believe they started accepting it about a month ago

Is there any particular reason you wouldn't recommend G2A?

If there's any reason please share it with the class because I would hate to walk away without a little more information, and if it's a valid reason maybe we could get steer other members away from their direction as well.

Had really bad experiences with them in past but it doesn't mean i condone using them.. it could just be me i just don't suggest anyone if asked that's it.
You can check their sub-reddit for all kinds of issues that people get into.
Most of the time i buy games off those sites i listed above and never had any issue whatsoever yet.

I never used G2A before but I will since their prices are good and they accept bitcoin, apparently. Although this information is well hidden under tons of other payment symbols.

What is interesting though is table of their pay fees: https://pay.g2a.com/downloads/G2APay-fee.pdf Bitcoin is one of the few payment methods without ANY additional fees. Amazing.

yeah i even posted it in the right section at that time and no one cared about, so it's their fault

i was suprised myself to see a good deal that can be bough with bitcoin, which will make it even better because of no fee

You should operate under the assumption that whoever you're doing business with is going to scam you if given the proper opportunity. What I would suggest if moving forward with this in mind and always using escrow, or securing your transactions to the fullest extent possible. There is never a fool-proof method to avoid being scammed and when you're purchasing off-market goods/services there's always the high-chance you're dealing with a shady individual.

The only tried and true method to use your bitcoin to purchase any steam games without getting scammed is :

Exchange your BTC for Fiat via a trusted exchange service and then purchasing the games directly from steam, while securing your steam account as fully as possible.

This unfortunately defeats the purpose. If you need to exchange for fiat it's not worth the hassle, might as well just paid with your fiat in your bank account, steam games aren't that expensive to lose some Bitcoin over it (count in the exchange fees etc).

How safe is buying a steam gift card with Bitcoin then using that to buy it? I can't also trust random people selling me serial keys.
