First time buyer, WARNING ALL OTHER POTENTIAL FIRST TIME BUYERS.

In order to make a purchase on this site, for me was a $37 Itunes Gift Card, you need to provide the following:

1. Front and Back of your ID, along with a selfie of you holding the ID and a piece of paper saying it is for gameflip
2. Front and Back of your credit card, along with another selfie just in case.
3. Your cell phone statement, showing your name, address, and telephone number
After you provide all that, you have to deal with the rejections (hey that piece of paper now should include date and the words "its for gameflip"; hey we can't see your name on the credit card even thought that information is already typed when you made the purchase and we can see the last 4 digits of the card is the same) and your own sense of you just submitted documents for someone to commit identity fraud on you.
But if after reading all that, and your own confidence that GameFlip, based in Silicon Valley, have a better security than Apple, Venmo, Paypal, or Google (because neither of those companies ever requested that much information from users when they use their products such as Apple Wallet, Google Pay, etc). Then I can say with confidence that you should proceed to make your first purchase.
Me on the other hand? Most likely pass. I really don't want to share that much information just for $37. Now I just hope that the complete deletion of my information under CCPA is easy (fingers crossed).

At first I researched the site and it seemed pretty legit but I was going to get something and for currency was 5$ And I did phone verification and put my card in and it charged my card but then said it needed a picture of my drivers license and phone bill and credit card front and back which is unrequired for a transaction and j would like my money back because that is a huge scam and isn't needed whatsoever to purchase something and I need some verification that Gameflip won't steel my info because this doesn't happen on any other sites. I don't recommend it is extremely sketchy and I don't know why it is rated so highly please don't buy.

Retienen tus pagos por semanas, es una forma de estafa. Tengo más de 15 días intentando retirar mi dinero, son más de $3700.
They withhold your payments for weeks, it's a form of scam. I have been trying to withdraw my money for more than 15 days, it is more than $3700.

I have been using this for over a year and I have not once not gotten what I have bought and I have bought over 100+ items from this website and I have sold loads! Recommended to the fullest!

This is a marketplace, so like any other, be mindful about who you buy your products from and if you have good experiences with given sellers, give them priority next time and you will enjoy waves of good deals without issues at all.

I opened an account so I could buy some Amazon cards for cheaper. I got a welcome code which was a nice surprise. I found a $25 GC for cheaper plus the code it was a great deal. They asked for my cell number and sent me a verification code to make sure it was mine (no issues), they had me put in my credit card security code to make sure I have it (like every other online store, no biggie)…. BUT then they wanted a picture of my driver's license?!? That seems like a red flag to me. Or a picture of my phone bill?!? Ummm what?! Then a picture of my credit card front and back?!? I haven been shopping online forever and NEVER once had any place ask for all this information! My credit card was charged but I refuse to give this information so now I have to make sure I get refunded. Seems like they are putting their customers at a huge risk by asking for all this information. I don't need my information stolen, so no thank you. I guess they don't need me as their customer. ‍

This is a terrible site for sellers. There is no protection from buyers returning gift card codes because it is very hard to prove a code was unused before selling it. Buyers can also use the site setup to claim they bought the wrong product and get a refund. Then they have access to your gift card code to use freely.

This site is not a good buying site for just someone enjoying games. I do not recommend ever even opening an account. They want so much personal information just to buy something for 5usd its rediculous When you add money the first time you already have to wait 24hrs. Then the next purcash for 5usd they ask you to send them your Liscense, a bill woth your name and address on it, and other form s of id. All this to get something for 5usd. Seems rwally fishy such a small online company requires so much of your personal life info for such a small amount. Unfortunately I will not be using this site for my kids ingames items no longer. They say securtiy, but my bank doesnt even ask for all this everytime i spend 5usd. I think this site is more of a seler to seller site. I do not recommend to just use for a quick ingame buy. I would rate it at a 1 for ingame buying. I'd rather just take my chance with ebay than jump through all these hoops when we dont even know who these people are taking all our info that is literally the closest thing to identity theft possible. Use you judgement wisely before you give this compnay enough info to steal your life s saving.

I've used the Gameflip app before, but now I'm only using their site. The customer service helped me a few times as I've bought hundreds of items there. This is a marketplace, so like any other, be mindful about who you buy your products from and if you have good experiences with given sellers, give them priority next time and you will enjoy waves of good deals without issues at all. Highly recommended!

The website is very secure in ways to make sure that you do not get scammed (i have been scammed once but got my money back in 12 hours). To do this, you need to show an id photo so that if you scam they can take action.
I have had very good experience and their support team is amazing and helpful. Also, if you buy something there is a chance that you can get $2 every month. I don't yet understand how that works though.

Terrible service from the star. Has my account in review for 8 days then decided I wanted to buy an item for a really great price. That also was under review for 2 days and I had to write THEM an email about the sketchy behaviour. If there is a way to delete my info off that website I want to asap.

They hit you with a processing fee before telling you they charge one. They also require an uncomfortable amount of personal information just to complete an already started purchase. Secure payments, 2fa, and your phone bill are not enough. They also show you to their Terms page if they do not like your profile name. They don't tell you what's wrong with the one you choose.

I have been a user of this site for sometime. Now this site has gotten worse and worse every day that goes by. Every time now I add funds it comes up with under review same card same account same person done did the whole spiel about confirm your identity several times and yet again today three times in 2 weeks had to cancel the transaction. App won't stay signed in can't add money they don't want to let you draw money as sellers you guys are getting screwed by this company they are making you lose so much business with this nonsense that they're doing. I have dealt with the same sellers the same card the same account for over 2 years and this has now made me leave this website and I will go to Facebook's website before I ever ever give this company another dime of profit. Advice to new people just avoided and just go find something else this is not a site you want to deal with. You can still get scammed and dealing with the company as itself is a horrid experience. Just avoid this company it should be shut down.

This site worked well for me for a while and then sellers started saying they delivered and were lying. The site is essentially a middleman and is supposed to be guaranteed for the buyer yet they sometimes side with seller even win there is no proof of transaction and buyers are supposed to screenshot proofs. I lost over $1400 cumulatively from buyers that never delivered and the site sided with seller with my trade book proving items never delivered. Only buy from sellers with hundreds of positive feedback is my suggestion or don't use the site it's risky.

After purchasing some Robux for my daughter's account (5000 listing with nothing said about delivery method), I received 3500 robux because seller only purchased for 5000 robux item I had for sale.No where was it stated I'd have a fee of 30% charged on me and if I had know, I'd have chosen other seller speaking about this fee, yet delivering more for my money.
Filled a claim with proof of 3500 robux delivery and after 1 week, was said the seller was right.
This website is an absolute scam, even if the amount of money stolen is small and not significant at all (about 6$), the principle is the same.
It means you aren't protected in any way if you are stolen from by a seller since they will side with them even if you have proofs.

They advertised fast payout which was a joke of the century! Don't do business with these guys! Unless

Iv'e wasted almost $200 on this site and have got NO MONEY BACK. IT IS A SCAM DO NOT USE. Never use this site. Just use the regular old ebay. I knew the prices were to good to be true.
